Bio
Jeremy Harvey
Carolyn is one of the rare people that I have come across, that is able to combine efficiency with an ability to remain unflustered, even when things were changing at a rapid pace. As I was frequently on the road, I relied on Carolyn to ensure that travel and finances were available when required, and in a 7 year period there was never a single error. She was always ready to help, and go above and beyond her role to assist. I have no reservations in recommending Carolyn.
