Working with Esmee has always been an enjoyable and highly rewarding experience even when confronted with the most challenging situations. She has an uncanny ability of bringing people together, getting the best from them, producing clarity, solutions and measurable results.

Stephen Singleton, Chief Executive, Suffolk Community Foundation

Esmee always impressed me with her ability to tackle some really entrenched problems in health and social care – working with so many people, getting them each into a place where they could think and contribute and take positive action. This takes vision, stamina and engagement skills that Esmee has in abundance.

Julie Bateman, Retired Former Assistant Director, Adult Social Care

Esmee has a way of getting a range of people to work together and taking the tension out of political situations. She’s a strategic thinker and uses that clarity to focus on complex problems. I’ve always been impressed by her work, particularly how she understands the key issues that really drive organisations.
