Who they are
Insight
As at Fri 9 Oct 2026Lorna Cairns is the day-to-day champion and platform admin at Duddingston Payroll. She shapes adoption and sets the value story, but budget sits with Fraser Moncrieff and her managing director. Her main ask now is evidence of value before the 2027 renewal.
Role: Head of Client Services in Edinburgh, CRM champion, and a platform user since 10 Feb 2025 with admin rights. She joined discovery on 10 Oct 2024 and has been the main customer voice on calls since.
Influence: she gives scope and adoption verdicts but says she cannot approve spend. Fraser Moncrieff, the Finance Director, owns the figure. On 21 Sep 2026 she said her managing director must approve budget.
Watch: she cannot show value in numbers, and logins have fallen. Employer data separation is non-negotiable for her. A ticket on 8 Oct 2026 asks whether the invoice matches £110k, and billing is still checking.
