CGT is payable on any gains from the date they vest, so if she sells the shares on the day they vest, assuming there is no quiet period, then CGT will be avoided. If you hold onto shares after they vest, then you can be liable for CGT, assuming the selling price is higher than the vesting price.
She can also transfer shares to you, so that you can use your CGT allowance too.

You're correct, they vest for three years and then we can sell if the share price has risen and pay the IT and CGT. But I still think it's rough, maybe I'm turning into a fucking tory. First world problems etc
