Just a quick note to thank you for the blog workshop you ran for myself and my colleagues. I thought it went brilliantly and certainly hit the objective I had of filling them with confidence and motivation to go away and blog. Everyone really enjoyed it and feedback has been great. The sceptics amongst our group are now bestowing the virtues of blogging and are raring to go - so that shows the power of what we achieved! Thanks again for an excellent workshop. Sam Davies, Marketing Manager Haines Watt

“Heather Townsend recently spoke at the ICAEW event "Update for Interim Managers Annual Conference" and was extremely well received.

The delegates scored Heather very highly for her session which is a testament to her skills as a presenter and her knowledge within this field.” Andrea Tsarbos

“Heather is an expert in referral marketing for professional service firms using networking and social media, from alignment to strategy; to integration within existing business development activities; to making it happen and delivering existing and new business success. She gives practical and realistic advice. She recognises that with social media the critical element is how to use the technology –not the technology itself.” Darryn Hedges, Global Finance Director for Marks & Clerk

Heather’s book “The FT guide to business networking” deserves to be on the desk of every senior professional in the country.
