Welcome to Our New Team Members!

We're excited to welcome two new members to the Data Support team:

• Alba Gomez Segura
• Lauren Rootham

They will focus on licensing and data management, work on data access, handle user enquiries, and support licensing processes.

With additional staff, we aim to reduce response times and further improve our support services.

As always, we are here to assist with your data needs. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.

We hope you find these updates helpful and look forward to supporting you in the coming months.
