Patricia Lambert
IT Manager
Originally from Newcastle where she completed her IT training, Patricia moved to London to pursue a career in IT working with the IT department of a large advertising agency before joining NLP in 1997.
She now heads up the firm’s IT team and is responsible for the installation and ongoing maintenance of all firm hardware and software, as well as resolving day-to-day IT issues. IT advances mean her role is forever evolving and she enjoys the new challenges this presents.
Outside of work, Patricia enjoys reading and is an avid fan of black and white films.

Who would play you in your biopic?
Caroline Quentin – partly because I was mistaken for her once, but mostly because I’d love to imagine myself helping Jonathan Creek, an eccentric magician’s assistant, solve crimes whilst bickering, getting in his way and writing a book.
