Lily has a brilliant 'can do' attitude to work, and brings positive energy lighting up both the office and the team around her. A pleasure to work with, and ready to get stuck into anything that needs her support, meaning she's worn a few different hats!

Ellie Bishop

It was lovely to have Lily as part of our management team at Paperchase. She is completely trustworthy, responsible and was great at motivating our team to achieve their goals. Lily is adaptable and always willing to go the extra mile.
