              In The Hot Seat - Noreen Ferguson Hughes

              Senior Business Executive

              Our first interaction back in 2013 with VC Angel, Noreen, "Queen Noreen", or "Queennor" as she is known online, her tag line, "Normal service never existed" says a lot; was on Twitter when in our effort to reach out to like minded women, followed her and then unfollowed by mistake, whoops (as you all know not something we like either) and she told us in no uncertain terms she wasn't impressed, she doesn't mince her words. Of course we immediately rectified the error.

              Then to our surprise she became one of our very first customers and subsequently one of our most vocal supporters both online and off and so when we decided to share our brand ambassador stories The One and Only Queen Noreen had to be included.

              If you have seen her feed you will know she is authentic and consistent and so we are delighted to have her in our hot seat.
