Greenbackers needed a clear, deliverable strategy for growing our business across six separate but related service areas. Brand protection and enhancement had to be baked in. Our customer base sits in four separate communities and we engage with them all directly, personally and digitally; the strategy had to enable and enhance our ability to do that. We wanted to move at pace . The finalised strategy had to equip us to be able to hire in the right outsourced assistance and full time hires. We needed to be satisfied on all of this – and so did our new board and our investors. We asked Joanna to help. She delivered on all of our requirements – and more – on time – on budget. The process was hard work – but fun. Joanna was flexible in working around our diaries. I am delighted to give Joanna the highest of recommendations.

The results have been phenomenal with us now being able to pick and choose who we work for at the right prices. I have to say I was pretty sceptical at the start but cannot thank you enough for starting us on it.

With all of the areas we covered Joanna made generous introductions, suggestions and valuable recommendations, all of which have stood me in good stead ever since. I can’t recommend Joanna highly enough, her passion and drive combined with her knowledge and expertise are second to none.

Joanna has been a wonderful supplier to Green Angel Syndicate, the only consultant I have ever used when I always wanted to pay more than she asked. She has a natural understanding of business objectives and their application in marketing practice.
-Nick Lyth, Founder, Green Angel Syndicate

I brought Joanna in to TPC Leadership to help us develop a marketing strategy that would actually build the business. She thinks very broadly about business and quickly “got” our’s, creating simple templates we could easily update and track activity over the year. The whole process was energising and inspiring – she has such great energy and it really got the whole team onto the same page. Happy to say we’re now seeing unprecedented levels of inbound enquires!
-Vicky Ferrier, Associate Partner, TPC Leadership

I engaged Joanna as an external consultant to work on a number of business development projects during a period of change within the organisation I managed at that time. Joanna’s practical and vast experience of similar projects was evident as she was able to suggest and implement innovative yet pragmatic solutions which subsequently delivered outstanding results for our organisation. Joanna is a dedicated and persistent individual and it was a joy to work with her and get results so quickly. I cannot recommend Joanna highly enough

Joanna is an invaluable resource for lawyers and investors. She can assess which contacts you need for a project and get you in touch with them fast. Her understanding of relationship development in professional services is outstanding. She also volunteers her skills for a charity which is testimony to her commitment levels and integrity

You are like Nanny McPhee. You’re tough on us. We need you but do not want to hear this, and so you must stay. When we want you, to hear how well we’ve progressed, but no longer need you, then you are going to go aren’t you?
-Confidential HNWI client [The answer was indeed, yes]
