I have known Jenny for many years, however it was not until November 2015 that I had the first opportunity to work with her as a Project Manager in Business Intelligence. Jenny displays all the characteristics of a great project manager. She is extremely well organised, remains calm when under pressure, attacks issues head on, and is a great mediator with a natural talent for drawing out the best in everyone to drive a project forward. Jenny was a great support to me both as my project manager and friend during 2015/16 helping me to achieve a successful outcome on a number of high profile projects, for which I am very grateful. It has been a real pleasure working with Jenny.
