Our team is expanding at The Women’s Organisation! Meet the newest members of our Marketing team – Lucy & Primrose!
What’s your full name and where are you from?
Lucy Ryan – Originally from London but I came to Liverpool for university and didn’t return. I now live in Prenton on the Wirral, this is where I call home now.
Tell me how you first found out about The Women’s Organisation and become part of our team?
I had heard of some of the courses run for women in business and sought out more information when I applied for the role in the finance department.
What kind of things have you done prior to coming to The Women’s Organisation?
I have over a decade of experience within the hospitality sector working through the ranks from bar staff to manager of my own restaurant – this is a big change!
What’s the best thing about working at The Women’s Organisation so far?
Getting to know and become part of a warm, welcoming team of people. I have had such a great welcome and induction and met people from every department who have been on hand to support and answer all my questions.
What might (someone) be surprised to know about you?
I can crochet and love making blankets as gifts for family and friends – I can also shake a mean espresso martini if the need for one ever arises.
What do you do when you aren’t working?
Spend time outside with my daughter exploring, she won’t stay inside – even if it’s freezing! I am also studying towards an AAT accounting qualification at evening college, so revision and family time usually fill my time outside of work.
What’s your full name and where are you from?
My name is Primrose Ndlovu, and I am from Knowsley.
Tell me how you first found out about The Women’s Organisation and become part of our team?

I was thrilled to find out that there was a role available that suited me and now here we are 😊
What kind of things have you done prior to coming to The Women’s Organisation?
Prior to coming to The Women’s Organisation, I worked in accounting firms as a Tax Assistant where I gained knowledge in tax, finance, accounting, excel, analytics, data and all things numbers! This aligned well with the Economics & Finance degree I gained at Manchester Metropolitan University.
What’s the best thing about working at The Women’s Organisation so far?
The best thing about working at The Women’s Organisation is how welcoming and supportive everyone is. I have not been here long and have settled in well. I also enjoy the fact that the work we do is having a positive impact to people’s lives and the community.

I was born in South Africa!
What do you do when you aren’t working?
I am a big foodie, so I love making new recipes and exploring restaurants with my family and friends. I also love to travel, and I am always up for trying something new or going somewhere different!
