Testimonials

 "Janet worked with Osborne for over a year in a project role leading on our Marketing and Business Development strategy. She really helped us develop our thinking and approach in changing from a project-focused organisation to a client-focused one. When she joined us in September 2007 she quickly gained the respect of the senior team – particularly myself and the Chief Executive, Mark Heasman, and her personable approach allowed her to fit in easily. She helped to drive through changes in the business by having a ready toolkit of solutions. I would not hesitate in recommending Janet for her determination and professional approach to any organisation in need of a breath of fresh air."

Andrew Osborne| Corporate Development Director | Osborne | December 2008

"I wanted to convey my sincere thanks for all the enterprise, ideas, hard work and friendship that you brought to MEPC at a time of great change. It is a credit to you that you managed to bring the marketing face of MEPC right up to date with a fresh look and prompted people to look again at the manner in which our basic proposition should be communicated. That you were able to carry a number of strong willed people to your point of view was a credit too to your skills of persuasion! We were in need of a fairly radical prescription to bring us out of patient care and you certainly administered the right medicine."

Rick De Blaby| Chief Executive | MEPC | March 2007

"Janet is a highly motivated and professional marketeer and project manager who is forward thinking and able to deliver results effectively and efficiently. I would hope to work with Janet again in the future."

Tony Longstaff | Director| MEPC| 2007

"Janet was appointed as Interim Head of Marketing to develop a more

joined up approach for its customers and progress the 'one RNIB'

concept. She has made significant progress in this area and started to

show some tangible results. I would engage Janet to work with RNIB in

the future without hesitation."

Fazilet Hadi| Director of Advocacy & Policy| RNIB| 2007 (blind from birth)

"Thank you very much for all your hard work during your assignment at

Ordnance Survey. The Board all were impressed with the effort and

work that has gone into the marketing strategy. I would like to thank

you and your team for the hard work in pulling together the strategy and marketing plans. They were all very professional and really helped give

my colleagues a significant view of the marketing we propose and where

the focus is."

James Brayshaw | Sales and Marketing Director | Ordnance Survey| 2006

"Janet was brought in as an interim Marketing Director to develop a

marketing strategy and subsequently restructure the marketing

department. She completed several excellent pieces of work and was commended by the Board for the restructuring of the team, branding

and segmentation. Janet is a highly committed and professional

individual both as a team player and as a leader."

Philip Sellwood | Chief Executive | Energy Saving Trust| 2005

"Janet made an excellent impression with me, the Management Board

and other senior partners. She identified where we had our marketing

right and facilitated the transferring of the knowledge and skills to the weaker parts of the practice. She recommended and implemented improvements where there were flaws in the firm’s marketing. The successful business development of a law firm only comes from the

direct efforts of the lawyers in a very competitive marketplace – Janet’s

input provided leverage and practical advice to maximise the return on

investment and effort."

Chief Executive | Farrer & Co| Top 100 law firm | 2003

"Janet Morris stepped in at very short notice and held the fort whilst

the company recruited a permanent Business Development Director.

She initiated the idea of a marketing plan and sold it to the business.

Janet was always professional and determined to achieve whatever she

set out to do."

Bridget Taxy | Managing Director (International) | Martindale Hubbel| 2003

"The organisation lacked strategic marketing and business development

until Janet was brought in as a consultant to audit the company’s

marketing activities and develop the appropriate marketing strategy.

During this time Janet demonstrated clear strategic thinking and leader-

ship and helped the organisation to improve and co-ordinate its

marketing efforts."

John Rice | Chief Executive | A leisure services organisation working with

local government| 2002

"Working with Janet enabled a fresh and objective viewpoint. Janet

worked very hard to ensure that she delivered against all of the

objectives set at the outset. In a very short time the business was rebranded, repositioned and had a marketing strategy in place. This enabled the occupancy and revenue to increase at each of the sites; and ultimately helped to achieve a very successful trade sale of the

business."

Mike McKenzie | Chief Executive | Jigsaw Day Nurseries| 2002

"Janet is a truly professional interim manager - she is able to turn

her hand to working with any industry sector. When Janet is unable

to help, she often recommends other professionals from her network."

Chris Behan | Managing Director | Odgers Ray & Berndtson| 2001

"Janet led the marketing development of the business proposition for

partners, the identification of suitable partners and negotiated business deals for the Airmiles portal. She is a very organised and hard working individual. She worked on this project in a very determined and focussed manner."

Vince Kerr | Business Development Director | BA Airmiles | 2001

"Janet Morris joined us an interim manager following the merger of

four companies. She led the successful rebranding of the company in

forty days – she is an impressive operator and completed the project on

time and in budget."
