Our regional teams
Over the last 30 years, we’ve been building and developing our stocktaking expertise to ensure we have the best possible team in place, whatever our clients needs may be. We recruit and train our own teams, meaning we don’t subcontract or use agency staff. This allows us to practice the highest level of precision and accuracy. We also recruit specialists in certain sectors, something our clients see as a real bonus of using our services, as we always have someone experienced at the helm of each stocktake. Meet some of the key members of our team below, or take a look at our wider team and company structure here.

Gill is the company’s Business Support Manager with wide ranging responsibilities that include employment law and personnel, health and safety policies and procedures as well as credit control, general compliance and insurance. She joined the business in 1991 and is our longest serving member of staff.
“We have been working with Abacus Valuers for over 15 years. They helped Primark migrate from a paper based stocktake system to using their hand held scanners and stocktake software. Their dedication to the project and ongoing commitment is second to none, and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to any company.”
"We have used Abacus Valuers as our business partners for the last 3 years to complete our Retail Stock Valuations. We have built a great relationship with the Ops Team, and they are great at adapting to meet the needs of our business."
“We have used Abacus Valuers since 2005 and find the company to be reliable, accurate and well organised. They are very good to work with; they are efficient, friendly and give a first class service.”
“ISS have developed a great working relationship with Abacus Valuers over the last 10 years. As our chosen Stock Management Partners Abacus Valuers have provided us with first class external audits to assist us with running our SPAR retail stores within the Defence & Healthcare sectors. They have helped us gain far better controls which has meant that our Store Managers really focus on the crucial processes around Stock Management. They have always been flexible and honest when we have needed additional support which has been so helpful. I would not hesitate in recommending Abacus Valuers to any business with a requirement for this expertise.”
“In the two years of working at Yankee Candle, I have been working with Abacus Valuers and have found them to be extremely professional, obliging and adaptable. No request seems to be too much trouble often going out of their way to deliver. I once had to call on Abacus Valuers to reschedule 100 stocktakes in the space of 24 hours which they did. I would thoroughly recommend using Abacus Valuers above any other stocktaking company”.
