Working in a complex multi-partner environment, she achieved results through her professional people focus, great time management and excellent systems abilities."

"Sam led the employee advice and support centre and delivered a first class service. She was always happy to help and create and develop innovative solutions for the business during a very sensitive rationalisation programme. She was professional with the Trade Unions and provided regular detailed service reports to the senior management team. She also supported career and job fairs and engaged with key stakeholders internally to ensure mitigation opportunities were easily accessible to employees. I highly recommend Sam."

"Sam led outplacement support and provided professional, dedicated and conscientious support to the redundancy programme she was supporting."
Ivan Shearer - HR Director at BAE Systems


"Sam is a fantastic organiser and a great Executive PA. During the two and a half years we worked together, Sam was Personal Assistant to my boss and was one of the most effective but also approachable Exec PAs I've ever worked with. While she is excellent at the fundamentals of that role; organising, effective diary management and gate-keeping on behalf of her manager, Sam also understands that the role requires strong collaborative relationships with her manager's direct reports. She was always prepared to muck in and help support us in undertaking our roles too, and as a result Sam was a key member of our management team. She'll be great in her new role and what's more, she's fun to work with as well."
Ian Evans - Head of Commercial Licensing at Royal Mail
