Lucy Hill

Insolvency Manager

Lucy Hill was welcomed back to her role as Insolvency Manager at BCR after returning to her home in Cheshire with her husband and children. She said: “My husband worked for a year in Saudi before we joined him and when we arrived I didn’t have a job but applied for a role at the British Embassy and retrained as an Entry Clearance Officer for UKVI in Riyadh. “While we quickly settled into the lifestyle, and enjoyed the weather, it was sometimes difficult for the children to adapt to the restrictions. When it came to a crucial point in their education we decided to come home and I am delighted to return to my old role and see my colleagues again.”
