Lesley was a beautiful person with fantastic energy, intelligence & wit (she was always laughing!). She first inspired me 18 years ago when I joined her (& the team) in the Lewisham Careers service. She later became my line manager. We last met 2 years ago when I left the Dept that we both worked in.
Her biggest ‘fault’ was that she could talk you into anything with her wonderful enthusiasm. I found myself co-ordinating work-experience for 2 years on her recommendation (she had really loved the project). In 18 yrs we never had a single disagreement. I feel very lucky to have known her & will forever remember her laughter & energy.
