When I first met Molly, we organised to meet for coffee in Manchester at 12pm, I got home at 7pm. Molly is everything you long for as a Manager. From the way she holds the microphone, which reminded me instantly of Caroline Aherne, her articulation and writing, to her quintessential Molly-isms. To be working with Molly is a true pleasure, she dazzles me daily and she’ll dazzle you too. Tits up Mol! - Daisy
