At Blackgang Chine our animatronic dinosaurs are great fun. Lucy brought in an amazing team who showed us how to use off the shelf parts and free software. We can now fix things immediately and change what the dinosaurs do whenever we want. This has saved us time and reduced our costs. It has also given our technical teams a much greater sense of ownership and therefore much greater job satisfaction.

Lucy was the keynote speaker at the International Women’s Day Conference at the University of Chester. Lucy’s talk about her career in Science and Engineering was totally inspiring. Students and members of the public at Lucy’s evening talk, (including myself), went away with a feeling of renewed confidence in their own abilities
