"After some small group sessions with Clare I could see immediate improvements in my writing. It was clearer, punchier, better-structured and more engaging. The things I learnt have stayed with me and keep on helping me. I hope I can find another opportunity to get Clare back in and help us to get even better."
– Simon Gleadhill, Howdens Joinery Group PLC

Everyone I spoke to said how valuable they found it; I’m sure this will be reflected in the evaluation forms. I hope this proves to be the first of many such sessions so the hard work you clearly put in pays dividends over and over again.”
