What do others say

Supporting your ambitions

Judy enjoys working closely with clients to understand their organisations and help them achieve their goals.

She has spent time on secondment to a university's HR department.  She produced practical guidance and template documents for appeals to the Board of Governors, making it easier for the HR Department to handle future appeals.
