COMMUNICATIONS SUPPORT
“While you guided us through the process, you also really challenged us, and that was really important in pushing us and stretching us to be more ambitious …that sort of critical thinking and challenging of us and that questioning, was really important in coming to decisions about what we want to achieve”
