'I have known and worked with Sue for many years and as well as working closely with her, she has been very supportive to my own personal development.  More recently I have worked with June and Sue on projects within NHS South of Tyne and Wear.  Thier consultancy offers expert knowledge across the range of management, professional, clinical and information issues facing any organisation.  This knowledge has been developed from years of experience in senior roles both in the public and private sector.  My experience is that they demonstrate exceptional leadership and offer impressive commitment to the work they undertake.  They both have excellent communication skills and offer great support to the teams they work with.  I have personally appreciated and enjoyed their great personal connection with the teams they work with - working hard but always with their fun personanlities shining through.

‘I originally encountered Sue in 1984 when I worked for her and when we were both practising physio’s in Newcastle.  Although we had not been in contact until last year, I remembered her as a positive, dynamic figure who could deliver change. When I heard she was working independently I approached her to assist with a number of diverse tasks which she has subsequently completed successfully, on time, within budget and in an appropriate manner.  She quickly and accurately gained an understanding of our needs and was able to effectively engage with staff when necessary. I remain grateful for her positive contributions and wouldn’t hesitate to engage her at some point in the future’

"June not only had to think out of the box but work out of it. A problem that bedevils public sector thinking is the silo mentality. She set about tackling this by creating a series of alliances not just with primary care but with Local Authorities and other parts of the public sector"

'Sue came into our project – Health Care Reform in Thailand – as an international consultant for the Advocacy component. Within two weeks she was involved and working with the whole team, on primary care issues, financial management issues, issues of organisational development and decentralisation, in addition to the advocacy and social marketing of primary care. Her capacity to work as a team player as well as empowering the national component managers to take issues forward on their own is what marks her out as a great consultant in a development environment. We’ve now contracted her until the end of the project – we need her!’

‘I have known Sue for many years and I have been aware of her work with PCT's in the past.  For the past two years I have worked closely with her and June on the clinical evaluation team as part of the Equitable Access to Primary Care Darzi procurement project. Sue provided external project support and June was responsible for evaluation modelling of tenders for new GP practices and walk-in centres. They both demonstrated exceptional leadership and commitment to the project. They have an ability to quickly assimilate information and summarise the issues to allow project team meetings to progress quickly. As one of the clinical advisers to the project I found there expert knowledge and understanding invaluable. They certainly made my life much easier. I would have no hesitation in working with them on any future project I may be involved in’

‘When I got in touch with Sue I was at a critical point in my career and needed guidance about which path to take.  As well as being a very positive and objective person, Sue is a really great listener, and over a period of time she guided me through a range of activities to help me to understand my strengths as well as my development areas, and ultimately my preferred future career path.  Sue was also extremely helpful in supporting me in proactively finding solutions to problems, and her approach really boosted my confidence. With my goals clearly defined, I set off to seek the sort of role which been identified as the next stage in my career path. I am delighted to report that I have been successful in securing my next challenge and would very much like to thank Sue for the coaching support she has given me.  She has played a pivotal role in my personal and career development.’
