""I found Catherine to be a great all-round manager with an eye for detail and a clear sense of direction. She was widely recognised for her work ethic. She worked wonders and had a hugely positive impact on moral during what could have been a difficult time of change. She changed the whole ethos of the customer services division from being the 'poor relations' to being a major contributor to the customer experiences, and a division to be proud of. Catherine was great to work with, always open to new ideas, always willing to help and always totally on top of her brief.""
