Originally coming in to cover Claire whilst out on maternity leave, I was unsure I would get to work with Claire much, but luckily for me I have been able to for the past 4 years and continuing. Claire is extremely professional and goes above and beyond when it comes to HR coordination. Claire’s confidence increases daily and it shines in her work. I go to Claire for her advice and input to streamline all our processes. Claire is a true asset to any company and I am lucky to work with her daily.
