Testimonials
“Attracting new business in any professional service firm is about building profile, making connections and staying closely in touch. It’s a highly personal business where 1-2-1 referrals count for everything and memories are long.
I sat on the same Board as Paula for many years as a non-exec and advised as the business went from strength to strength.
Paula won’t be ‘just a consultant’ – she’ll be an asset.”
Neil Backwith, Former CEO of Porter Novelli (EMEA), NED and Advisor
"I worked with Paula for 12 years at Wildfire.
We hired her as our first sales manager, she quickly became a company director and she changed the business. She was a breath of fresh air, bringing ideas and energy to the team and establishing and running a professional new business function.
Paula established a model that brought a continuous stream of new business opportunities by a pro-active approach and establishing lasting relationships with many companies.
Paula is easy and fun to work with and will be an asset to any ambitious small business looking to grow."
Richard Parker, Former CEO of EML/Wildfire
"Paula is, quite simply, wonderful. She's smart, funny and excellent at her job. And she has an amazing network because, quite frankly, people want to work with her. She makes biz dev look effortless. You won’t go far wrong in hiring her to guide your business development strategy."
