I have had the privilege throughout my (now long!) career of meeting and working with the most incredible people, who have significantly influenced my life, personally and in business, in so many ways. I am passionate about The Cotswold PR Company, which has integrity, talent and accountability coursing through its veins… my team is brilliant, and I value them hugely, and all of the partner companies we work with who help us deliver the best.”
