I only worked in the same office as Deborah for a very short time. But in that time I could immediately see how great and supportive she was to the whole team. Her presence was fairy god like mother, swooping in whenever there was a difficult query, talking the most practical sense and sorting everything out with the minimal of fuss. I was always struck by how friendly and approachable she was. She is sorely missed. My deepest condolences to all her family.
