Anne’s contribution to our organisation required considerable creative thinking, an understanding of marketing strategy and an ability to effect change. She coordinated our rebrand with an in-depth understanding of our values and ethos, which led to a significant improvement in our profile She also successfully implemented a lot of changes in the way we work, brought in fresh ideas and written excellent thought pieces on a range of education-related topics, showing an exceptional ability to write content that communicates in a compelling and engaging way.

Anne is very switched on, aware of the political environment and she knows her way around the education and training sectors. We have valued working with her for over 20 years now Anne is engaging, perceptive, easy to communicate with and a completer finisher.

Anne is an excellent communicator with fantastic relationship management and people skills. She taught me to have a more strategic approach and keep an eye on the big picture, even when we were working to tough deadlines. I also admired how she always managed to creatively find solutions to difficult problems, such as organising big events on a tight budget or producing high quality marketing materials with very few resources. The team’s achievements were down to Anne’s leadership and management skills, as she motivated us all to work hard and do our best.

Anne has a flair for storytelling with the ability to get to the heart of an issue very quickly. She has great writing skills, with the ability to deliver headlines from dense, complex reports. Her broad understanding of marketing and PR was a real asset – whether pitching to trade media, writing up content for annual reports or finding a case study that really spoke to its target audience. It’s hard to get noticed in an ever more crowded media space is an art and Anne is expert at it. I really enjoyed working with her.
