Simon Gill
Debbie is an experienced, talented and pragmatic People Manager and HR Business Partner. Debbie understands the businesses she works within and is well respected by them. She has a natural and inbuilt pragmatic approach to complex ER and people issues, she is able to combine this with her vast amount of knowledge and experience to provide the right advice and guidance to the business on to achieve the right blend of people versus commerciality. Debbie is well respected by her colleagues, peers and stakeholders at all levels and whilst I have not worked for Debbie, I know that she is also very well respected by her direct reports.
