Vodafone’s treasury department puts its success in scooping the Treasury Team of the Year Award 2007 down to a thirst for learning and a balance of hard work and enthusiasm. As Phil Clark, Deputy Group Treasurer, puts it: “The team is a collection of well-rounded treasury professionals.” This mix of background gives the department a broad base of knowledge. “We get clear leadership from our Group Treasurer, Gerry Bacon, who sets the parameters within which we work,” says Clark. “That, plus good people management, sets a great working ethos.”
