What they say about me.
Kinds words by people already supported to make change.
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

This takes vision, stamina and engagement skills that Esmee has in abundance.

I’ve always been impressed by her work, particularly how she understands the key issues that really drive organisations.
