Caroline Sunderland

Job Titles:
  • Administrative Assistant
Hi, my name is Caroline and I am an Administrative Assistant for Sleigh & Story! I'm really pleased to belong to this hive of activity in the offices in Brighouse, down by the ford! I'm kept as busy as a bee supporting the staff with administrative duties such as answering the phone, binding accounts and invoicing. I used to previously work and commute 12 miles away so now I can enjoy my walk to and from work; occasionally calling in at my family's allotment. When you arrive at our office I'm usually the person who buzzes you in!

Emily Bell

Job Titles:
  • Bookkeeping & Accounts Assistant
Hello I'm Emily. I attained a degree in International Tourism Management at Leeds Beckett University. In 2019-2020 I went travelling to Australia - and came back 2 days before the UK went into lockdown! When in lockdown I had plenty of time to consider which path my career should take. My friends always said I was good with numbers so I am currently studying the AAT qualification! In my spare time I love making my own jewellery and baking nice treats at the weekend!

Hi, I'm Pat and I have been the Practice Manager and Administrator at Sleigh & Story since 2008, having previously worked for a well-known high street bank for 25 years in a variety of different roles. Outside of work I love live theatre and I've been privileged to take on a number of cameo roles in local amateur productions over the years. A dancing bear in Carousel, a pregnant nun in The Sound of Music and a Hot Box Girl in Guys and Dolls are my major theatrical accolades! With my dancing shoes now in the junk box these days I enjoy lovely holidays with my husband Peter and our son, or walking the family dog Simba. When you visit Sleigh & Story, if it's before lunch, I'm the person who will ensure you have a warm welcome and a hot drink on arrival.
