"Ruth got everyone involved with a tailored activity suitable for the client group, great start to the event"
Jayne Hey MA, Access Ability Team Leader, The University of Northampton.
 
“Ruth has been extremely effective in raising the profile of our song-writing competition final.  Within a couple of hours of the event, Ruth had captured several audio interviews and distributed a press release, which resulted in a prime-time broadcast on BBC Radio Northampton and a half-page feature in the Chronicle & Echo.  All of this was achieved with sensitive professionalism and detailed knowledge of the media.” John Bowman, Director, Notivate Ltd (23rd March 2011)
