OUR SERVICES

  • When I set up my own small company, with a background in mainly corporate business, Lizzie was instrumental in helping me adapt to a different model.

    Her support as a business advisor in everything from finances to logistics over the first 18 months of launching the business was vital - and continues to have a big impact.

    Her insight has directly impacted the growth and success of my business.

  • Lizzie joined us just as we were putting together our Innovate UK application. She quickly grasped the scope and aims of our project and jumped straight in with structuring and delivering complex concepts in written and visual forms, which were of outstanding quality. 

    As project manager she managed key partnerships, and kept teams on task with clear project plans and objectives.

    Crucially, monitoring, evaluation and production of the final report went above and beyond.

    I couldn't recommend Lizzie highly enough, she brought energy, vision and passion to everything that she did. Thank you Lizzie!

  • Lizzie is an excellent project manager: her work was instrumental in the successful delivery of our project.

    As anyone who’s been through the process will know, Innovate UK funding comes with rigid reporting, progress tracking, and budget management requirements on which funding payments depend.

    Thanks to Lizzie’s work we were able to make the most of the 6 months available, while claiming 100% of the grant on time.

    Lizzie, you are a pleasure to work with and I hope we’ll get to collaborate again in the future.
