Speaker client feedback

"Kirsty was a joy to work with - she listened carefully to the brief and wholly delivered against it. She was absolutely professional at all times, was accessible in the run up to the event, was utterly reliable in terms of deadlines and overall gave great value for money.
Professional, fun, satisfying. A template of how you want things to be!"

Lee Marshall, Head of Trade Partnerships, Carrier Luxury Holidays.
Keynote on Community, Carrier Annual Summit, November 2024
