Ivy is a knowledgeable colleague working for the subcontract team during my time a Agility DGS. Very friendly and easy to work with. She is a hard worker and always makes sure that the job gets done RIGHT the first time. She would be an asset with any company that is lucky to have her. I would definitely enjoy working with her in the future.
