Mel joined Gecko in April 2016 as Administrator after a 12 year career break raising her two boys, then taking on the challenge as Deputy Compliance in January 2018.
Previously she has gained vast experience in Stockbroking, Banking and Fund Management companies where one of her main traits was being organised and methodical, which in turn meant the progression to the Gecko Compliance Department was a natural one.
In her spare time she enjoys Mountain Biking and organises an annual Ladies Mountain Bike fund raiser for cancer charities as well as travels the world doing Charity Cycle challenges when family time allows.

Samantha is responsible for the accounting and tax of Gecko’s client entities. She has a degree in Financial Accounting and has gained her experience working in a variety of roles, both within the financial sector and commerce, at all levels including bookkeeping, auditing and at financial manager level.
