Viv has responsibility for ensuring that the many aspects of Operations, IT and workflow run smoothly.
Originally from Australia, she came to England in 1992 and completely fell in love with the place.
She worked in London for a year and then moved up north, working in Leeds and Manchester as an IT trainer/developer and as a legal secretary.
