WHAT CLIENTS SAY...
RED BUCKET PICTURES
- Clair Titley, Director & Producer
"Gill is the ultimate story-smith!
"I worked with Gill on the early stages of development of my feature film script and found her skills and expertise invaluable to my project.
"She has an uncanny ability to navigate the many twists and turns of an idea that sometimes seem overwhelming as a director - especially when you have been emerged in a project for sometime.
"Through her guidance and help I have been able to move on to the next stage of pre-production. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Gill to anyone who needs support in this way, whether commercially or as a creative yourself.
COLSTON HALL
- Sarah Robertson,
Director of Special Projects
"Gill's outside eye helped Colston Hall to see how various narrative strands were linked and could be combined for maximum impact, and that by using a stakeholder-led approach, we were able to develop an authentic, community-focused, implementable plan that helped us navigate a tricky time with confidence and purpose.
"Gill is a down-to-earth and creative thinker, with a real grounding in comms strategy, who I wouldn't hesitate to work with again. "

INSANE ROOT THEATRE CO.
- Hannah Drake, Artistic Director
Gill is a fire-cracker: simultaneously kind, challenging and inspiring.
In one day she helped us untangle the knots we face as an organisation and start to get out of the "dead marshes" to find the beginnings of a map and strategy to help sustain us for the next five years.
I look forward to working with her again as both an organisation leader and individual arts professional.

Gill facilitated an in-depth comms workshop which gave our team a genuine and surprising insight into the strengths and opportunities of our organisations, helping us to identify a clear set of goals which have renewed our focus.
In just half a day she gave us a new sense of energy and excitement - we can’t wait to work with her again!
