Anyone stalking this group may have noticed a couple new faces have appeared in our leader list. 😁 So who are they?
@PuffinPanic or more commonly known as Nicola Woodhouse from NHS Supply Chain has been with us as a user group since the very first meeting, and is a pillar in our little community and also heavily involved with the Public Services and Crafteryx user groups.
@Spainey who's actually name you may guess is Mark Spain works alongside me in PwC as a Senior Alteryx Developer where he is the go to Alteryx guy when anyone is in a bind. and a star in our internal community (warning he will judge you for not properly documenting your workflow.....he does this with me everyday but my workflows are much nicer for it 😅)
