We just want to reiterate how brilliant you've been. We'd have been gutted if we’d missed out on working with you. You've been a star!!

James McInnes, Director, Sell my Livestock

Amy is a highly experienced and enthusiastic communicator. Working with Amy, she always had a finger on the pulse of how the wider community would be thinking, and bought a strategic vision to our communications which simply did not happen when she was not around. Any Communications Director who can get you on the sofa of Breakfast TV has to be good at her job!!

Kevin Bellamy, Former Chief Executive of MDC and now Senior Analyst – Dairy at Rabobank

I worked with Amy for many years in Lafarge & Lafarge Tarmac, both at a site and national level. Amy was always professional, delivered quality work on time and was able to pull together information from many sources and people to help create media communications or inform our business in specific requested areas. She was also easy to get on with and could people at ease to ensure when preparing to talk to the public or media they were well relaxed and informed to deliver the message.

David Shenton, Senior Environment Manager, Lafarge Tarmac

I am confident that I can speak for the group when I say the training was brilliant! Your involvement with Sapphire has been very fruitful as well as enjoyable.

Ryan Hodder, Managing Director, Sapphire Energy

Amy is great to work with - focussed, energetic, and works hard to help achieve the goals set for the project. She also keeps you well-informed on progress or issues that arise.

Gerrard Fisher, Special Advisor (Business models & Electronic products), WRAP

Amy has deep knowledge of the farming industry and how it works, strong communication skills, and an understanding of the most important audiences and what makes them tick. These give her a strong perceptive ability to foresee obstacles and opportunities, and present an argument or message so that it delivers the desired outcome.

Tim Brigstocke, Policy Director and ex-Chairman RABDF, Chairman Cattle Health and Welfare Group, Executive Director CHeCS

Oxtale helped the APM when we found ourselves at the centre of a media storm. They not only provided expert training but helped us understand how to use the opportunities that media attention afforded.

Dr David Brooks, President of the Association for Palliative Medicine

The quality of presentation material, organisation of exhibitions and management of key stakeholders and consultees has been exemplary, as has the continuing engagement with the local community.

Tony Scorer, Head of Onshore Development, EDF Energy Renewables

Amy has displayed not only an ability to plan at a strategic and tactical level, but also to anticipate potential developments. This would apply for both for proactive PR and reactive issues management.

Amanda Ball, Head of Strategy, AHDB Dairy

Amy has a very good grasp of technical issues and the importance of science in underpinning industry developments. Her knowledge, communication skills and ability to challenge constructively make her a great asset.

Jenny Gibbons, Research and Development Manager, AHDB Dairy

For a non-scientist, Amy has a very good grasp of evidence-based arguments and combines these with her communication skills to put forward some compelling arguments.

Chris Warkup, Chief Executive, Knowledge Transfer Partnership (TSB)

Amy knows what journalists need – she is always available, appreciates the importance of deadlines and knows what makes a good story. Her clients are always well-briefed and her knowledge ensures she's on top of the subject.

Johann Tasker, Chief Reporter, Farmers Weekly

The world of animal science and academia often struggles with finding the balance between sharing information and over-complicating its messages, but Amy succeeds where many of us fail.

Mike Steele, Chief Executive, British Society Animal Science
