Testimonials
Please take a look at some of the testimonials from organisations we have supported.
“Judith has just completed her year as interim CEO at the Vision Foundation. This would have been challenging without Covid as the charity is in the process of completely changing its aims and operations but Covid added a huge additional challenge. Throughout, Judith was calm, considered, thorough and highly effective. She led her team superbly and was involved in the recruitment of several key executives in this time. If I ever find myself again on a board seeking an interim CEO, I would have no hesitation in contacting Judith.”
“Very happy to recommend Judith for any role she considers. A very effective “by example” leader, team player, creative thinker, manages complex operations and challenges exceptionally well. It was a real pleasure working with Judith.”
“You joined an organisation which faced some real challenges. Your important part, first as Deputy Chief Executive and Director of Services and then Interim Chief Executive, in ensuring that the charity met those challenges and steering us towards what we are all sure will the best outcome for those whom we exist to help is something for which we are very grateful. The good relationship between CEO and Chair of trustees which has existed between us was not only beneficial to Beating Bowel Cancer but a great personal pleasure for me.”
"Thank you! You’ve spent money in the right places and got the charity back on its feet. Thanks from the bottom of my heart for your work, dedication and commitment"
“I have really enjoyed working with Judith over the last four years, during which she has chaired the Expert Advisory Committee (EAC) for the National Summary Care Record Programme of NHS Digital. Judith has been an extremely able and skilled chair of committee comprising a dynamic group of high-level representatives of national professional- and patient-representative organisations. Judith very quickly grasped the complexities involved in implementing and operating this national digital clinical information-sharing system. She quickly ensured that she was fully appraised of the nature of professional and patient concerns about issues of confidentiality, data protection, technical safeguards, legal liabilities and variable public confidence in government data-sharing initiatives. Judith always prepares fully for meetings of the EAC. At the meetings, she displays impressive communication and leadership skills, encouraging contributions by all members of the EAC to discussion and debate whilst at the same time imposing a discipline which ensured that discussion is structured and all agenda items receive appropriate attention. Thanks to Judith’s exemplary chairing, the EAC has been an effective and influential group, providing sound advice and guidance and contributing to the continuing success of Summary Care Records as an effective tool for patient safety and quality of care. ” [Feb 2018]
“As an interim, Judith provided insight and experience, underpinned by expert knowledge of how to get things done. She helped move us forward in our aims and develop significant high level contacts in health services of benefit to the charity. She also brought in new thinking and clarity in the development of our vital services and support for patients and carers. We are delighted that she has now joined us permanently, and is continuing to contribute to the charity’s future.”
"The Board were very pleased with the work Judith undertook as Interim CEO, in particular the delivery of outcomes, her quick grasp of issues and appropriate, prompt action."
"Judith worked with me on our early plans for turning a grant-dependent charity into a more commercial, contract-based social enterprise - but one that didn't lose its soul along the way. Judith's support to me at that time was invaluable and I will always be grateful for her insight, patience and acumen."
“Judith has worked with us on many strategic and social enterprise assignments, with outstanding feedback from clients. She is insightful, client-focused, and supports clients to make real positive change. I do not hesitate to recommend her.”
“Judith has done some outstanding work with the Summary Care Record Programme, both representing the views of the patients and also providing top class consultancy on phase two of the Programmes patient engagement approach, including defining our strategy. Judith provides a unique balanced insight from outside the Programme which has added significant value to our delivery. She is a pleasure to work with.”
