I was super impressed with Lucy's ability. She has a lovely manner; she has this real humility about her, and she is a super quick learner.
Lucy Hoare is utterly charming and fantastic to deal with.
I was struck by how pragmatic she was. She was appropriately reassuring and ensured the client was on board. She was really good at keeping everyone calm.
