Lucy Walker from Blake Morgan

Hello, Sarah! Could you start by introducing yourself and telling us a bit about Blake Morgan?
 

I was extremely lucky. I came across Blake Morgan whilst working for a fantastic homelessness charity called Llamau and Blake Morgan became a Corporate Partner helping us raise awareness and funds. From the very beginning I loved working with the teams within Blake Morgan, they were so helpful and engaged and in the space of 1 year raised £11,000 and helped me increased my network.  

Eventually a role opened up at the Cardiff Office and whilst I loved my team at Llamau, the opportunity was too good to ignore and I can honestly say that Blake Morgan is as nice to work for as they were to work with! 

I now utterly enjoy my Role as Business Development Manager with the firm, and I am extremely happy that they encourage my charity work and continue to support Llamau as well as many many more important charities and initiatives.
