Gemma Lyne

Manager

Gemma is known for being the person everyone turns to for technical advice, AML and compliance and enjoys problem-solving, especially when it comes to turning piles of receipts and bank statements into useful accounts that help our clients make plans.

Originally from Prestatyn, North Wales, Gemma has lived in Liverpool since she was 18.

These days, family life keeps her busy but when she gets time Gemma enjoys reading and listening to music, especially country and rock.

Fun fact: Gemma once performed on stage as Scary Spice! Before joining Butterworth Barlow, she also worked in three bingo halls, doing everything from selling tickets to calling party bingo.
