Maria has a wealth of experience in not only strategic HR but in practical problem solving.

Having worked with her over many years in challenging educational circumstances, I could not recommend Maria more highly.

She can quickly assess a situation and provide incisive, practical solutions to resolve issues quickly and effectively.

Maria’s real strength is building structures that serve the organisation and foresee capacity needs and succession planning.

Perceptive at identifying future talent. Maria develops effective training and coaching models to bring out the best in people and develop their career pathways.

I would recommend Maria to all sizes of organisations. Maria will make a significant impact to any role she takes on.

CEO Vale Academy Trust

I have been fortunate to work with Maria as our previous HR Consultant and also when she was Vice Chair of Trustees of the ElmWey Learning Trust.

Her expertise and knowledge is excellent; she enables solutions and resolves issues in a calm and insightful way.

As a Trustee, Maria's clear understanding of governance and strategy helped develop a sound foundation from which to grow.
