“Rebecca contacted me a few years ago with a great idea for a feature. I commissioned her to write it and the article was well-written, well illustrated and met the deadline – what more can an editor ask! She’s written more than 30 features for my magazine Reflections, and I have always been happy with her research and her writing style. In particular, she recently tackled one of the most complex issues of our time – plastic waste – giving it the necessary local angle (Ellen McArthur is from our patch in Derbyshire) and making it easy to follow for the layman (which is the secret of good feature writing, of course). I have no hesitation in recommending her.”

“SENDS is a community interest company based in the East Midlands and designed to help parents of children with additional learning needs.  We support children with communication and interaction, cognition and learning, social, emotional and mental health and sensory and/or physical needs. What sets us apart from other services is that we offer support to children, their families and teachers in their familiar surroundings of either home or school.

With school and local authority budgets under so much pressure, our greatest challenge is sourcing funding and garnering support. Of course we’re passionate about our work and know what we want to achieve but we don’t have the time to work on how we communicate that to potential sponsors.

Rebecca has supported us with a number of communication projects such as writing articles and acting as a critical friend on a large funding application, and has really taken the time to get to know our business. Her input has helped us to ensure that we always write with our audience in mind and with a clear focus on the particular call to action we want that audience to undertake.”

“Rebecca is a talented operator with fabulous general management, marketing, client engagement and content-generation skills. In the years she worked for me, she was ever-reliable in coordinating resource to ensure goals were met. Her output – whether working in the private, public or charitable sectors – has always, without question, been of the highest calibre.”

Jeremy Phillips, Director, Bodhi360

I have known Rebecca for over 20 years and have found her to be a great source of knowledge in what can be a tricky to navigate funding world and a pleasure to work with. She has always made me feel valued as a customer and listened to.”

“I have known Rebecca for over 15 years. Her expertise has supported the growth of my own business supplying bid writing training and consultancy. In my 35-year career I’ve rarely come across a person who can achieve both client and colleague respect and expectations over the long term. Rebecca has this ability.”

Sue Scott, Director, Learn2Bid

“Rebecca and I have collaborated on projects where I have led on website design and development and Rebecca on content.

It’s often the case when I’m building a website that the client does not have the skills or time themselves to produce the content and that can lead to delays in project sign-off. Rebecca can reliably fill this gap and is always available to field any urgent questions.

She always delivers on time and that’s a great reassurance when I’m working to tight deadlines.”

Ben Fletcher-Bates, Managing Director, Design Kabin

“Rebecca and I delivered a number of campaigns together including web development, e-campaigns and events to achieve growth of software subscriptions in the public, academic and voluntary sectors in the UK and mainland Europe. She has a very approachable and honest style which made it easy to work with her to achieve joint outcomes.”
