Sue is a brilliant consultant to work with. She is quick to understand what is needed, asking probing questions to stimulate further reflection on the purpose and methods of the evaluation. She is quick and efficient and brings good humour and warmth to the work which make her an absolute pleasure to work with.
Working with Sue is like having a precious touchstone in your pocket that you can always turn to and rely on. Sue is incredibly efficient and reliable at everything she does and has multiple talents, which she applies with immense modesty and alacrity. It is also a huge joy to work with someone who is always so supportive and cheerful, and who always manages to make light of the hardest of tasks. It has been such a privilege to work with her over the past 30+ years.

I engaged Sue to evaluate a complex nature-based social prescribing project, involving multiple sites, organisations, and levels of intervention. She analysed a wide range of existing data and conducted original research through focus groups, interviews, and online surveys, extracting pithy key messages underpinned by detailed exposition. Sue was able to build rapport across all the groups she engaged with, from service users to senior management. She was highly organised and adapted well to changing and evolving situations and setbacks. She combined a high level grasp of the complexity of the project as a whole with excellent attention to detail. She is flexible, efficient, resilient, has a keen sense of humour and was overall a pleasure to work with.

Having worked with Sue in a range of contexts, from editing to facilitation, I come back to her again and again because she brings a rare ability to proactively engage across different levels, grasping hold of the complexity of the issues at stake while always offering clarity in ways forward, and working with the detail in ways that always enhance what’s offered. Along with humour, constructive challenge, thoroughness and efficiency, she’s an absolute star.

I’ve engaged Sue for numerous projects over the past seven years, hiring her to undertake research and to write, edit and format key documents including government grant bids, tenders and client reports. She’s proven to be a vital external asset to the success of my building surveying business, as she quickly grasps what is required, and works efficiently to ensure timescales are adhered to.
