It’s nice to be appreciated!
SEED Project:
“We approached Carla with a loose brief to find out who was running microfinance projects in Zimbabwe and what lessons we could learn before introducing our own scheme there. She worked closely with us, taking the time to understand our needs and together we expanded the brief to include experts’ opinions from around the world. Her work was thorough and professional. We have gained a much better understanding of what the situation is on the ground. The work has been vital in deciding future strategy.
Carla was fun and good to work with, without ever compromising her professionalism.”
Marie Nazombe, Co-founder, Trustee and Operations Manager of The SEED Project
Fitzpatrick Contractors Ltd:
“Due to the fast expanding rate of our business we needed to prioritise our approach to business development. We contacted Carla who took the time to really listen and take on board our requirements. She suggested an approach to our research needs, which I was happy with. She quickly picked up our business terminology and was able to converse intelligently with the relevant Procurement Managers at the Local Authorities. I particularly appreciated her dogged persistence to fulfil the brief, when there were so many Local Authorities involved, some more willingly to co-operate than others. Her approach was methodical and always professional and she adapted to the changing direction of the brief well when we decided to increase the scope of the project. The results of the research have helped shape our business development strategy within the Environmental Business unit.”
Keith Maplethorpe, Environmental Business Manager, Fitzpatrick Contractors Ltd.
