Ruth is straight talking and has the ability to target the areas of your business with direct precision. I saw Ruth for a one to one meeting to review my business; I was given ideas which I could implement to generate additional income streams. I was reassured I was on the right path and doing a good job and we discussed where my strengths lay and also some weaknesses which could be improved on. Ruth also offers further follow up appointments if required, anyone who is stuck, needs a new view point or a different overview of their business this is an ideal solution. Ruth is easy to work with has a great sense of humour and knows what is required for any business, meeting with her can only enhance what you do so long as you are prepared to put the work in!

Ruth's interest in our proposed activities and advice enabled The Recovery In-Sight Centre to take off, after its win of Best Business Plan at the University of Hertfordshire's Entrepreneurial competition FLARE in 2009. Ruth's straight-talking, practical commonsense approach and keen business mind helped our new company gain a comprehensive overview of our strengths and our weaknesses, and her clear advice enabled us to improve upon our weaknesses and establish a clear marketing and sales strategy as well as professional marketing literature and branding. Her keen interest and support of our activities were especially appreciated when we launched the company,

as it helped promote the Centre as having an excellent business model as well as effective and quality services in innovating new services in the mental health field. Ruth is a welcome, insightful and refreshing no-nonsense business-person who is good to have on board and who gets straight to the heart of the issues that matter most to a company. Ruth was a great support personally regarding later staffing issues, and provided me with an excellent role model of a business-woman with a determined approach and strong focus.
