Patsy is a certified Prince 2 Project Manager, and being the only female in the office, should probably be certified in other ways too. She’s been working on web projects for 10 years, and loves cracking the whip to ensure we continue to develop the best sites and exceed customer expectations. Brought up in a pub, she pulled her first pint at the age of nine, and knows quite a bit about lorries too!
