Testimonials
Rebecca Thompson, FOCUS, Filmcity Futures
“Jen is an excellent consultant with a rare ability to see straight to the crux of any issue, and provide structured and effective solutions. We have contracted Jen on a number of occasions to deliver consultancy and training to film and television companies through FOCUS, and have been impressed by her market expertise, business acumen and communication skills. We have consistently received excellent feedback from the participating companies themselves, as well as seeing real results in terms of their company growth and focus. She’s also a delight to work with!”
Jane Mote, DMA for STV News
“Jen came on board a substantial change management process at STV News at the implementation phase which meant she needed an instant start in a complex situation. The depth of her experience and knowledge along with strong communication and analytical skills allowed her to have an immediately positive impact in a very short space of time. She was able to navigate many complexities and sensitivities whilst drawing up critically astute roadmaps for how digital could be embedded in the DNA of the news organisation in a useful and meaningful way. She is entirely reliable, hard-working and resourceful, working well to a brief but equally able to set the agenda and initiate strategies when needed. I have worked on projects before with Jen and will always seek her out when projects arise and immediately relax if I know she’s available!”

Producer, Channel 4’s Emerging Indie Fund
“Best and most useful part of the whole course for me. Doing the business plan and really thinking about strategy and tactics - the stuff you don't get to in the day to day - was invaluable. I was able to share comfortably with her where we are on our journey and she gave really valuable insight and advice. I'd like to continue working with her.”
Producer, Channel 4’s Emerging Indie Fund
“Jen was really helpful in getting us to address our specific needs. Her thoughts and advice felt bespoke and personal to us, our position and future growth. She made the space really open so we felt we could share things and ask any question, however stupid it might sound. Her added resources that she shared with us (e.g. Business Plan templates) have been invaluable.”
Andrew Snowball, Creative Director, Flabbergast
“It was invaluable. Felt slightly like therapy at times!
Jen is great at getting to the nub of an issue and talking in clear, straightforward language. She was honest about the challenges facing the industry and understands the difficulties all new and emerging indies face. She was also fantastic at offering smart, practical help and challenges you to keep the big picture in mind at all times. It's really informed and reinforced the approach we're trying to take. I hear her voice in my head a lot!
She's brilliant.”
