Testimonials

"We’ve been working with Helena on a number of projects now, and I can thoroughly recommend her services. She’s breathed new life into our refreshed image and added a new level of professionalism to our public documents. Working with Helena is a pleasure, she understands the charity’s needs, is responsive and efficient, and the quality of her work is always to a very high standard. "

Darren Hartley, CEO, TAROE Trust

"Helena has a knack of just making things easy. I'd come along with ideas and she'd just make them happen and make it all seem so simple. There was nothing I brought to Helena that she didn't have a solution for. Working with Helena was an absolute pleasure and I know we will do more projects together in the future. Can't wait Helena!"

Simone Callaghan, The Goodness Collective

"Helena clearly knows her stuff. Whilst we’re good at tax, we don’t know how to write copy. Helena was instrumental in helping us find our tone of voice and ultimately be more appealing to a wider market place. We would strongly recommend her to anyone looking to refresh their website, rebrand or accelerate their growth strategy."

Matt Hodgson, Director, Claritas Tax

"Helena is an amazing individual who has supported me at a crucial point of the launch of my EdTech platform Connected Creatives: Young Voices Matters. Helena took the time to understand the requirements needed for the launch and offered an effective and professional service. Her support has been invaluable, always going the extra mile to guide me. I am so grateful. I would highly recommend Helena to anyone."

Dr Yasmin Hussain, Founder, Connected Creatives

"Helena helped us copy write our new website. She was attentive, efficient but above all else, she understood exactly what we needed straight away. Her approach was hassle-free and her attention to detail was exceptional - I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Helena and In my Experience again."

Penni Pennington, Director, ConnectIn Events

"Helena has been fantastic to work with and has done a sterling job of developing the Sector3 brand, really helping to embed the organisation into the sector across Stockport. Innovative, committed and always wanting to go the extra mile are the words that come to mind when thinking about Helena. Sector3 is in a much better place because of the great work Helena has done on our communications and marketing work."

Steve Hughes, Chair, Sector3
