Maths week - Visit from Jill Fitzgerald 21.1.15

As part of maths week, we were visited today by Jill Fitzgerald.  Jill is a chartered accountant who works for 'Specialist': www.specialistuk.com , an advertising company.  She explained how her business operates and about general business models.  We discussed revenue, profit and expense as well as what we need to do to help maximise our profits.  Additinally, Jill showed us how much maths was needed for the company as a whole, not just calculating revenue, expense and profit but also collecting and analysing data to show the impact of their services.  It was a very interesting presentation and years 5 and 6 were able to contribute a lot about the products they will be selling on Friday.

A Selection of the magazines produced by Specialist to help promote and sell various products.
