Diana Dromey
It's 2022 and we're in Manchester for a software testing conference called TestBash. Diana Dromey, Ministry of Testing's wonderful Events Producer, was placing the final touches on the seating arrangements of one of the rooms. She was super keen to ensure the chairs were perfectly lined up. A true professional and event-producing legend. 🪑
