Working closely with you

Harriet works with individuals and organisations in a number of roles. This includes strategic advice through workshops and mentoring, writing and researching, business development, design review and community engagement.

We’ve worked with Harriet for over a year on a range of strategic tasks, during which time her business and sector experience has provided invaluable insight. In her written work she quickly picked up our tone of voice, company ethos, and the details of our projects, so that she has now become a trusted and valued collaborator.

Most of all Harriet is an absolute joy to work with, committed, organised and always a cheerful presence at the end of the phone.
