"Sammy was a very, very high performing member of staff. She has an impressive combination of interpersonal, management and technical skills which she uses to achieve real impact. Sammy is a relationship builder and is highly effective in building rapport and generating consensus. She is also a very strong team leader and her motivating and empowering approach inspires loyalty and results in reliable delivery. Sammy is positive, self-starting, focused and very effective in managing upwards. Her style and performance is commented on very positively by senior external stakeholders and enhances organisational reputation. Sammy is a very class act and it was such a pleasure to work with her. Thank you Sammy!"

"It’s rare that you come across standout talent like Sammy. She is a dedicated professional, who will consistently go the extra mile to support her team to deliver quality events and services. She expertly builds relationships with all key stakeholders to achieve mutually beneficial outcomes. She is innovative, creative and able to problem solve under pressure to deliver results. I had the pleasure for managing Sammy whilst working for the Stroke Association and would gladly hire tomorrow. Sammy would be an asset to any organisation. Highly recommended!"
