DB - South Gloucestershire

Every time I have worked
with Kim, I have always found
her to be extremely
professional, highly organised
and always demonstrates
good communication skills
with the groups she works
with. Kim always builds up an
excellent rapport with the
groups she has worked with
and is always able to enthuse
and inspire individuals during
workshops. Each workshop
she delivers is exciting and
engaging which is extremely
important when working with
the hard-to-reach audiences.
