I have utilised Rachel’s skills on many occasions. She has helped me with various local, regional and national awards and all the ones she has helped with I have been selected including SBS100 this year. She has also helped me secure a grant towards my website. She just knows what to say!

I have known Rachel for a number of years but only recently had need of her services.  I decided to tender for a large piece of work, something outside my normal skill set so it was a no brainer to ask Rachel for help. The whole process of working with her is a delight, making it easy, straightforward and easy to understand made the project far less daunting.  I would highly recommend Rachel!

Rachel has worked with the Rural Action Derbyshire team on a number of projects. She brings energy, clarity and inspiration to everything she does.

She has a talent for bringing out the best in people and has helped our staff to develop skills in enterprise development, strategic development and bid writing. Her coaching input to our team helped them to secure a significant funding bid in a very competitive environment.

I can’t recommend her enough!
