I was very shocked to hear of Maria's passing earlier this week. We had been trying to arrange a Summer catch up for a while but kept missing each other. Now that will never happen and I am deeply saddened Maria is no longer with us.
Maria was an amazing woman. In the few years I knew her I quickly came to admire Maria for her honesty, humour, attitude and amazing knowledge of the industry which brought us together. I will always fondly remember Maria as someone whom I really looked up to as an example of a strong woman successful on many levels. I shall miss her friendship along with her invaluable advice. Rest in Peace Maria xx
