LH&E and Jenny, in particular, are a delight to work with, requests (even when sometimes at very short notice) are always met with a smile and a can-do attitude. The willingness to help is clear, the communication lines are always open. The advice is solid with backup and evidence. I have now recommended Jenny to other members of the organisation for QS support.’
