Joyce Noel- Proud West Herr Family Member
Accountant Thinking Long-Term with West Herr
West Herr accountant Joyce Noel is a lifelong learner. She has a successful career track, a loving family and a dedicated fitness regimen. Yet she has still to conquer one thing: ice skating.
“It’s been three years but I’m still hugging the boards,” Joyce said, “I can walk in heels but I still can’t ice skate.”
When she’s not hugging the boards, Joyce Noel is the main accountant for West Herr’s most historic location, Ford of Hamburg. She oversees store’s day to day flow, a craft she’s been perfecting for a decade with West Herr. She says her time in the auto industry has been consistently interesting.
“My day is never boring,” Joyce said, “everyday is fast-paced and fun.”

Joyce credits West Herr for their dedication to their employees. She was particularly moved when the group threw a surprise baby shower for her before the birth of her son Tyler. They also helped celebrate her daughter Grace’s birth.
“They definitely make you feel like you’re part of a family,” Joyce said with a smile.
Joyce Noel knows a thing or two about family. She’s been married to her husband David for 11 years and is heavily involved with her children. Aside from little league games, Joyce and her children actively engage in recreational fitness together. It’s to the point where the students are now outdoing their teacher.
“Recently I ran a quarter mile with my daughter and she got ahead of me, I had to keep up!” Joyce said with pride.
Joyce speaks with pride about her career as well. She credits West Herr with being a company that is not only engaged with the community, but forward thinking as well. She describes West Herr’s general plans as progressive.
“You can’t stay the same, you have to change with the times and West Herr knows that,” Joyce said.
As with many West Herr employees, Joyce Noel has been an integral part of the implementing the changes she praises. She hopes to continue on that path and finish her career with West Herr.
“I just want to be a valuable asset to the team,” she said. With employees thinking like Joyce Noel, it’s no wonder West Herr is one of the best places to work in Buffalo.
