Jeff Graham, UWE
Hired Debbie as a Marketing in 2011
“Debbie started working with me under the Train2Gain scheme in April 2009. I wanted someone outside the industry who would bring a different way of thinking/outside the box and new ideas and she has consistently done both. She keeps me focused as my external driver on what our strategy should be and what needs to be done, and very often just makes things happen. She sees not only the bigger picture, but also her attention to detail is invaluable. She also understands the demands of the business and is sensitive to the constraints that this sometimes puts on getting things done. She also acts on behalf of our business to all appropriate networking groups she attends. Her common sense and sense of humour make it enjoyable to work with her. That I have been using her services for 20 months so far is a testament to her contribution to our business. December 2009” January 26, 2011

carl pearce, The Swan at Stoford
Hired Debbie as a Hospitality in 2009
“I wasn’t quite sure what to expect by bringing in Debbie as a marketing consultant, not having used an ‘outsider’ before, but in the event found there to be many benefits. She’s been an external ‘driver’ keeping me focused on my list of marketing activities; someone independent to bounce ideas off; bringing lots of new and different ideas to the table; a quick thinker, thinking outside the box, and generally presenting many viable solutions.
Her way of working with us was just right and we welcomed all her new ideas. Always professional and with a good sense of humour, she was also sympathetic to the demands and time restraints that running our own business imposes on us.
I’d certainly recommend her and am continuing to use her. She has a creative, sensitive and progressive business-focused approach.”

Robert Craven, The Directors’ Centre
Hired Debbie as a Business Consultant in 2007, and hired Debbie more than once
“Debbie kindly agreed to lead a ‘Go to Market’ workshop for the BizIdea competition at UWE in February 2009.
The workshop was very productive and informative, Debbie covered all areas of the ‘Go to market aspect of a business plan, she was creative about they way she gave the presentation and made sure the workshop was also interactive to keep the students interested.
I would recommend Debbie for marketing workshops and would love for her to come back and give another workshop in 2010.

Helen Collings,
Hired Debbie as a Business Consultant in 2009
“Probably like many business owners I was not always great at asking for and receiving testimonials. It seemed that my clients thoroughly appreciated the service I provided, but “forgot” to put pen to paper or were too busy. I would like to thank Debbie, not only for her persistence and professionalism she exhibited when contacting and interviewing my customers, but also her ability to ask good questions which allowed me to really understand what my business does and should be doing to provide excellent sales training.
I now have testimonials on my web site I am proud of.” November 18, 2008
