I worked with Kim for a long time she is loyal hard working and very helpful with everything a good colleague to work along side with and a good friend

Chrissy Cooper

I worked with Kim for over five years and during that time she was always efficient, helpful and professional. She could be relied upon to perform her regular duties to a high standard and additionally she would always be one of the first to volunteer if additional urgent work was required even if it meant she had to work extra hours to finish her own work.
