Our Team

Robin Garrett

Chairman

Robin was a partner at two major Edinburgh law firms for 25 years before he escaped in 2010. A strategic thinker and straight talker, Robin’s diverse portfolio of business interests includes real estate holdings in the UK, US and South Africa as well as non-executive roles with property investment and advisory companies. He is also a governor of a London school, a Trustee of a Scottish based charity and he somehow also squeezes in time to follow football and play golf.

Caroline Myles

Managing Director

Caroline was one of the founders of the business in 2011. She has over 25 years of experience in cashroom work and became SOLAS qualified in 1991. Such extensive knowledge in this extremely specialist area makes Caroline our go-to person for businesses who need top-level expertise. Outside the office, Caroline devotes all her time to her family and her energy to muddy mountain biking with her two teenage children.

Shirley Mellon

Senior Manager

Transforming disorganised books in to A-star accounting systems gives Shirley immense job satisfaction. She gained her SOLAS qualification in 2011 and relishes the daily challenges her work throws her way - the messier the books, the better. Shirley is a voracious reader of crime novels and has killer instinct when it comes to computer games.

Barbara Hay

Manager

A stickler for detail, Barbara will not stop until she sees every project completed and every book balanced. She’s proud of her pristine work and can spot a misplaced decimal point at 20 paces. Barbara’s idea of relaxation is taking part in adrenaline-pumping extreme sports such as canoeing and rafting with her son and daughter.

Beth Jamieson

Manager

Joining Solutions at Work straight from school, Beth quickly became an invaluable member of our team. She’s so up-to-speed with all things IT that we call her Mrs Google – ask her anything and, after a quick glance at her phone, she has the answer. Beth enjoys working out to 90s aerobics and she has become and enthusiastic and expert glowstick waver.

Jeanette Lowe

Manager

Jeanette has worked in legal cashiering since 1993 and throughout her career her enthusiasm and pride in her work have never wavered. Jeanette insists that the job’s not done until it’s immaculate. Walking is one of Jeanette’s favourite hobbies, and we don’t mean gentle strolls but gruelling, blistering 15-milers to fundraise for cancer and MS charities.

TESTIMONIALS

  • “We are impressed by Solutions because of the qualifications of the personnel. Shirley is dedicated to our account and the relationship works well. If it wasn’t for the fact that there are some things that Shirley cannot do from a distance such as the daily banking of cheques, we wouldn’t know she wasn’t actually in our building.”

    John Cumming, Partner, Ennova Law, Edinburgh
  • A fast, reliable and friendly service - helping to keep us on the straight and narrow!

    Mike Nellany, Partner, Nellany & Co, Ayrshire
  • "We have used Cashroom Solutions for some years now and have always received such prompt and efficient service that it is just as if we still have an in-house cashier. Beth is super efficient and friendly - she feels like our own collegue."

    Scott Campbell, Director, The Chamber Practice, Dundee
