Current Squad Members

We’re not just good at filing, we also employ a wide variety of people from the community.

Since the beginning, the Squad has employed committed casual contractors to get the work done. They have included musicians, artists, athletes, students, professionals, and parents who want work while their children are at school. We have one staff member who is doing her Masters of Philosophy and another has just completed his Computer Science degree. Others have discovered the pleasures of record-keeping and taken up formal study then moved into the government sector.

Current members of the Squad are:

Helen Hancox

Helen Hancox is the Top of the Pecking Order (Managing Director) for the Flying Filing Squad. She founded the Squad after sloughing off a public service lifestyle and waning herself from a social welfare benefit.

Since 1993, the work has expanded beyond providing a flying squad of qualified records workers to implement large and small-scale record management changeovers, to providing training and advice about aspects of information management. She is a certified practitioner of neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) and an active member of the Rotary Club of Wellington.

Kay Coolbear

Kay works as an Associate with the Squad, providing expert advice on appraisal, retention and disposal, policies, training, work programming and capturing procedures. She also guides clients in how to create workable, sustainable information structures, how to apply disposal authorities, and how to safely keep records of long-term value.

Beatrice Siu

I’m Beatrice Siu, Squadron Leader and 2-i-c for the Flying Squad. Since 2012, I’ve been with the company and have come to be a Retention & Disposal Schedule and records/digital information management subject-matter expert. When I’m not at work, I spend much of my time dancing with the KaniKani group, Projekt Team, and CapxCity crews.

Dayna Berghan-Whyman

Dayna works as an Associate with the Squad, providing support and training to all clients on how to update their file structures, manage their internal operations manuals and comply with their legal requirements.
