Testimonials
Working with Amanda has been a truly wonderful experience. In the day of a life of an Entrepreneur trying to scale their business, trusted, capable, friendly people are who you need as you navigate the challenges that are thrown at you. Amanda took so many worries away from me as I was in this position having raised finance. She was clear and confident on what she could deliver which enabled her to integrate in to our team super quickly and effectively over a 3 month period. She helped us with the recruitment process of 3 key hires at a time where I had no time and enabled us to hire great people and build an awesome team, as well as implement a time management software for our team so we can account efficiently for our grant funded projects. She does this with competence, calmness and clarity. I have loved working with you Amanda and look forward to working together again one day.
Tom Robinson - MD, Adaptavate
Amanda worked with me for six years at Centrica. She is organised, diligent and pays close attention to detail. I could pass to her an enormous volume of tasks: setting meetings, taking minutes, organising showcase events, keeping track of budgets, and ghost writing marketing materials. She would somehow get them all done with very little of my involvement.
Amanda is experienced in supporting entrepreneurs. As our operations manager at Ignite and Centrica Innovations, she would help recruit staff to support our team and start-ups, write briefs for meetings with companies and investors, and ghost write blog-posts and marketing materials. She was responsible for measuring and reporting on our impact, and working with our portfolio of companies to do the same.
Sam Salisbury - MD, Kinectrics UK
Amanda really helped get my startup social business off the ground. She proactively managed a stakeholder outreach programme to sign up participating companies, using her initiative and wide network of contacts. Amanda is a great team member and I think many entrepreneurs would benefit from working with her.
