Not sure if it's going everything your partner needs, but I used the Vava '9-in-1' port with my MBP, no problems. When I left my previous job and handed back the MPB + prot, I bought a desktop iMac, and bought the same model port, and it's been fine for running another monitor, usb, camera memory cards, ethernet etc.
...actually, the only issue I've had is where I used a thunderbolt cable to plug a monitor directly into the iMac. Screen would blink out and go through weird colour cycles. Swapped to an HDMI cable through the Vava port and it's had no problems.

missus has told me work aren't paying for it, and she's not keen on spending approx £100 on one hub to rule them all, she was looking at cheaper £40 options. I've rolled my eyes and walked away from the situation until cheaper versions break and we're back in this situation again.
For what it's worth, if the amazon reviews hadn't been so bad for the satechi I probably would have pointed her to it. I still may when/if the options she buys break.
