Vicki Lewis
Vicki Lewis
Vicki comes from a legal background having worked as a solicitor for many years before setting up South West Mediation 15 years ago. Vicki is a very experienced mediator. She is also a Director of Human Resources for South West Mediation which means she is ideally suited to supporting teams and individuals resolve their disputes and differences within the workplace.
The approach and the way the mediator handled the sessions was very skillful and made what was potentially a stressful and difficult situation easier to handle. Having been doubtful I am now persuaded on the value of mediation. I believe that Vicki Lewis’s personality and skills were paramount in my coming to this conclusion
