Contractor catchup
24th August 2011 
In the spotlight 

It’s always nice to put a face to a name so this is our chance to let you get to know who you are working with a little more closely.

Julian Ball, Legal Director
Role: Legal Director. I make sure we keep up to date and 
compliant with changes in legislation as well as ensuring 
that customers receive a first class service.
About me: I try to enjoy myself as much as I can both at 
work and home. I love working at PayStream because 
there is a great team spirit. 
Career / Personal high: I worked as a lawyer in 
Singapore for 3 years which was fantastic – great food, 
great lifestyle. I got to travel around Asia with work, went 
to the Hong Kong sevens which had been a lifelong ambition 
and sailed a yacht round the Great Barrier Reef.
Likes: Playing golf, rugby and watching Stoke City; holidays with my family.
Dislikes: Jobsworths who refuse to apply common sense to a situation.


Rebecca Dermody, Accounts Senior
Role:
As accounts senior my role is to provide accounting, 
tax and administrative services to our personal service 
company contractors.
About me: After an early career managing a hair and 
beauty wholesale store, I made my first steps into a 
financial role and began studying the AAT via distance 
learning. In 2008 I took the opportunity to live and study 
in the USA after my parents moved there. It was a very 
exciting and rewarding experience. I generally enjoy 
learning new technical skills as I find this helps make my 
job more interesting and relevant.
Career/personal high: Passing the first stages of the AAT qualification, completing exams in dancing and competing in dance competitions. 
Likes: Travelling, sun, music and learning Spanish.
Dislikes: Flying.
