S2 E1 From Chocolate to Code: How Callum Streamlined Finance (and Freed Up a Day’s Work)

In this episode of Off Script with Jeremy Hyams, we meet Callum, one of the driving forces in our finance team and a perfect example of what happens when curiosity meets creativity.

What began as a temporary secondment from credit control turned into a mission to make processes smarter, faster, and simpler. By collaborating with the data team, Callum helped transform a full day’s manual finance work into an hour-long streamlined task freeing up time to focus on what really matters: helping colleagues and supporting customers.

From running a small chocolate business and dabbling in web development to exploring how AI and automation can shape the future of finance, Callum’s story is one of innovation in unexpected places. He and Jeremy discuss the power of problem-solving, and the joy of efficiency.

It’s an honest, funny, and inspiring conversation that shows how meaningful change often starts with one person asking, “Couldn’t this be easier?”
