Barbara has an excellent ability to plan, execute her work to a very high standard consistantly whilst also being able to impart her knowledge to team members and develop them to work to a high quality standard. She was always pramatic and able to deal with the day to day issues that came up. She effortlessly managed the completion of the days tasks whilst enganging the team to assist or stay late if required due to loyalty and trust she developed with them. She is very patient and a good listener. She has expert knowledge of QC Micro techniques especially endotoxin testing a problem sloving issues with the testing. A kind and approachable colleague who provided brilliant support to me whilst I got up to speed with the department and team. Thanks Barbara.

I had the opportunity and pleasure to work with Barbara at Lonza Biologics (Slough). Barbara is a first class Microbiologist with a vast technical knowledge, which includes a technical and practical knowledge of the endotoxin assay. Barbara was a much liked member of the Microbiology team and a go to person within the team. She is able to work as a team player but can also work independently on assigned projects such as customer protocolled studies with minimal guidance. I would very much like the opportunity to work with Barbara again in the future.
