Testimonials
“Islay was an engaging speaker, During our workshop, she shared valuable tips and strategies, leaving our audience inspired and motivated.”
Ruth Ferrier, Host Success Club, 2022
“I have known Islay for several years and has been a speaker at two of my networking events – speaking about PR and LinkedIn. Throughout all of that, I have been nothing short of impressed by her. She is incredibly personable, friendly, helpful, responsive and reliable. She is a talented and confident speaker, able to talk about a range of subjects at a level ideal for her audience and respond well to questions and thoughts from her audience. She knows PR and LinkedIn inside out and has invaluable experience to offer. In short, I would not hesitate to recommend her.”
Claire Witz, Organiser of Sevenoaks Mum’s in Business Sept 2020
“ I had never met Islay but contacted her following a recommendation to invite to talk at my Celebrating International Woman’s Day in Brighton March 8th 2019. I was delighted with the content of her presentation and her professional delivery to an unknown audience of businesswomen, who were all at varies stages of their businesses. Her delivery was clear and informative, full of up to date examples of both good and bad PR and I would certainly invite Islay to speak again.”
Christine Lyle, Business Growth Enabler, NatWest. March 2019
“Islay came to speak to the Sevenoaks Mums in Business networking and support group about “How to do your own PR”. Her knowledge and experience shone through and she gave a huge wealth of practical advice and insight into the mysteries of PR. She was also a very natural and engaging speaker and many people commented to me afterwards about how excellent she was. So a big thank you from all of us!”
Claire Witz, Chair of STWMiB, March 2018
“Islay is an expert in PR. She gave an engaging and interactive talk to my Women in Business group recently. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it and took away lots of pointers and ideas to implement in their businesses. Islay really did ‘demystify’ PR and I would recommend her if you are looking for a speaker for your group.”
E. Cox, Chair Women In Business West Kent. Nov 2017
“Islay is a passionate and energetic speaker who demonstrates considerable professional expertise in her speaking and engages her audience with PR tips and advice which are relevant and industry-specific. Addressing a group of professional businesswomen, Islay was inspiring and added huge value to our business lunch. Thank you, Islay!”
N. Powell. Regional Director, The Athena Network, Kent.
“I go to a lot of networking events and hear a lot of speakers – so the good ones really stand out. Islay is one of the good ones – clear, intelligent, informative and well structured. I came away from her talk incredibly well informed about the world of PR and what she does to help clients and excited about how it could help my business. I also understood some of the key differences between PR and Marketing which had been a bit of a mystery until then! I would strongly recommend that Islay come and speak to any group serious about growing their businesses, her experience and advice is invaluable – and she makes it interesting.”
