WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Tom Morley, original drummer and founder of Scritti Politti

"...Sophie understands my dynamic inside and out and transforms my working life on a daily basis...she has an ability to maintain an authentic sense of humour while dealing with the most Kafkaesque of challenges. Highly recommended but only to a chosen few as I don't want too many people to discover my backstage way of staying sane.."

          Roger Allam, Actor &           Rebecca Saire, Actor and Writer

“No matter what the task, problem or crisis, Sophie can always be relied on to take a positive, proactive approach. She has great organisational skills, an eagle eye for detail, and the flexibility to adapt to a changing schedule. Above all she is infinitely patient and kind, with a great sense of humour. She is wonderful to have around.”

Paul Figini, Cybersecurity Consultant

“I was lucky enough to have Sophie working for my company London Management Consulting  between 2016 and 2019. Sophie was a great asset, taking on various challenges including sales, marketing and all sorts of admin. Her positive attitude, enthusiasm and organisational ability made her a wonderful person to work with”
