A special mention to Alex Hall who went above and beyond in her assistance to get our deal over the line. In what ended up being very difficult protracted negotiations, Alex made herself available to us throughout and worked evenings and I am sure some weekends to assist us. She is a very valuable asset to the business, and we cannot speak highly enough of her calm and friendly outgoing nature.
