The course was an inspiration.  I spent time on my business and not just in it, met some amazing women, realised who my ideal client is and have been attracting her ever since.

I loved the fact that I gained real clarity about what I wanted to achieve, and I was surrounded by smart, supportive women who gave me feedback about how I presented and sold my very unique proposition. I went away re-energised and confident.

Having someone in my corner encouraging, supporting and motivating me has been the thing that has continued to help me make progress each month

I’ve loved the fortnightly sessions which has worked really well for me and managed to slot in well with my day job too. The sessions have been really focused but also linked together well. Ann is such a positive person and has really helped me see my strengths and overcome a lot of barriers I had in my mind!

Bloomsbury Beginning’s input has given us some much needed tools to evaluate what direction we need to focus on and manage ourselves more effectively

Rokiah Yaman, Project Manager

Ann worked with the project lead to consider potential business models to sustain and scale our impact once the project funding finished.  She provided excellent value for money, was reliable in meeting deadlines and delivered in line with our expectations.  We would recommend her as an evaluator and strategic advisor.

Marina Chang, Research Fellow

Ann produced an independent evaluation of The Seeds Project led by Positively UK including an intermediate report and final report. She created a welcome space where project participants and partners were happy to share very personal histories during focus groups and one to one interviews. She was very flexible and compiled an insightful and helpful report. I highly recommend her as a project evaluator

Antonia Attwood, Artistic Director

It has helped me greatly to get some clarity and confidence about the business priorities of my small company. I have been much more focused since participating and things have started rolling
