Louise Robb

I left my journal package in the extremely capable hands of Polly when I went on maternity leave in March 2012. I knew that her excellent organisational skills would stand my journals in good stead during my absence.

I managed Polly for 11 months during her time as Senior Production Editor for the Journal of Neurochemistry. Polly proved herself to be an extremely competent individual; able to work independently as well as contributing significantly to the objectives of the team. In particular, Polly demonstrated astute problem solving talents as well as a keen eye for detail and the ability to manage her workloads efficiently and effectively. On the basis of the time Polly worked with me, I would have no reservations in recommending her.
