Meet The Team
Darragh Lynch
Integrator, Innovation & Sales
My current role in Uccello is what we call the Integrator, which can involve wearing many different hats. We have a few different Teams such as Social Impact, People, Innovation, Sales, Marketing, Finance and Operations and I am honoured to be able to participate in each of these Teams with the best colleagues I’ve ever had. In a nutshell, I see my role as trying to solve bottlenecks and issues as quickly as possible, or ideally before they have an impact, so the Teams can get on with what they do best.
I’ve worked on every continent except Antarctica and swam in every ocean except the Arctic…… I guess I don’t like the cold very much. Went to University for the first time when I was 35; to get an MBA – better late than never.
When I’m not in the office, I love the outdoors, hiking or country walks in forests. I also love listening to and playing music; I play a few different instruments, and I also love reading and poetry. I think spicy food must get mentioned here too!!!
Cathriona Lacey
Customer Care Manager
My current role in Uccello is leading Customer Care. This includes all queries from our valued customers which can relate to sales, warranty, delivery, or payment issues. It also includes all questions and other requests for information from Occupational Therapists, Nurses, Carers and other medical professionals, resellers, disability organisations and all other people and organisations wishing to partner with Uccello Designs.
Before this role in Uccello, I was also the Digital Marketer for Ireland and the Operations Admin. I have worked as a marketer for several other companies and enjoyed every minute of it but helping people is where my passion is. I also have 23 years’ experience in the Irish Defense Forces; this has nurtured this passion, and which also gave me the experience needed to take on the Operations Administrator role.
Outside of the office, I love playing musical instruments, singing, forest walks and hiking & swimming. I have played in bands most of my life and love it. Did I mention chocolate???
Glenis Taylor
Warranty & After-care Administrator
My relatively new role in Uccello is to make people’s lives easier. I aim to do this by packaging and posting accessory and warranty items to customers in Australia and New Zealand, within a 24 hour turnaround time.
I took up this role in early 2022 following my retirement from 30 years of teaching English as a Second Language, mostly in Australian universities
Tai Chi has long been a regular practice in my life, combined with plenty of beach walks and time in nature. Dancing and socialising definitely keeps a spring in my step. My craft room gets a regular workout too where I enjoy making greeting cards and doing other arty projects.
Aoife Lynch
Customer Care Manager
At Uccello Designs, my primary role is leading Customer Care, but I also assist wherever I am needed. I handle all queries that come to us which ranges from warranty, delivery, and online orders to finding a store near you and website/payment issues. I organise all replacement parts to be sent out to our customers when they are needed whilst also answering all questions relating to our products from, not only customers, but Occupational Therapists, Carers, resellers, and all other people/organisations.
I started out part-time in Uccello Designs in 2020 as the Sales and Office Administrator whilst in Secondary School and once I graduated, I became started working here full-time while also helping in the Marketing and Customer Care department. I am currently now in college pursuing a degree in Creative Computing and have used the knowledge I’ve gained over the years studying Computer Science to create digital workflows and tracking systems for our ordering processes.
In my free time, you can find me either exploring Dublin city with friends, working on a new coding project or at my favourite restaurant – Eddie Rockets. I love travelling so I tend so spend a lot of time looking for the best holiday deals too!
