Head of Legal
I have worked with Sarah on a couple of occasions over the past few years and I have always found that she takes a practical approach, gives very detailed and prompt feedback and keeps in mind exactly what it is I am looking for, meaning that there is no time wasting with inappropriate roles. Sarah is extrememly personable and reliable and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.
