What our clients say
Testimonials
Andy Hayes
West Cheltenham Partnership
It has been a pleasure working with Angela on our strategic and charity governance reviews. Having an independent voice with bags of relevant experience has helped us to focus on what's most important for the charity. The board now operate as a team with identified roles, make more effective and informed decisions, and as a result are more productive. It's been money well spent!
CEO
A Gloucestershire charity
Thank you so much for your time yesterday, I found it really helpful and supportive. You have a fantastic depth of knowledge and experience, and it was great to have an ‘external view’ and insight. I will put all the ideas into practice and will let you know how I get on.

Parish Councillor
Can I just say how incredible GRCC have been in supporting the parish in the last few months - we couldn't have got half as far as we have without you.
Board Member
Community Land Trust
Just a short note to thank you for your time and encouragement yesterday, both of which were greatly appreciated.

Parish Clerk
I must say you have been one of the best speakers/external experts I have encountered in my 35 years as a public servant... On behalf of the Parish Council I thank you for your work with us.
Client
North Cotswolds
Hello Jason [GRCC Technology and Digital Inclusion Social Prescribing Link Worker for the North Cotswolds] It’s a week since you last came & I felt I should “thank you” again for your help. You’ve given my husband more confidence in using IT & he’s using the NHS app! We both really appreciate the help you gave us both.
