Start-ups and fast growing companies tend to lack someone who focuses exclusively on what they may need most: Running the office with an assiduous eye on managing productivity.

More importantly for us, she has been able to apply her significant capabilities, energy and creativity to the wide variety of projects we have entrusted to her. ...she never failed to deliver results which met or exceeded our very high standards. The important situations in which she was involved included: organising the set-up of our first office of twenty people, including establishing the initial administrative procedures; developing a sophisticated marketing program for us with database and accompanying publicity materials; and project managing from a standing start, the identification, design, build and occupation of our 9000 sq2 premises on St James's Square, London

Lucy provided our company with quick, courteous and professional service and all at a very fair price. She didn't leave the details to others which I personally feel is a very important part of what she provides.
