Bio
Clare McBride
Amy is an enthusiastic and dedicated account manager. She was passionate and knowledgeable about the National Literacy Trust and literacy as a cause, and consistently brought fun and engaging fundraising propositions to me and our staff, working alongside us to carry out the events. I really enjoyed working with Amy and was sad to see her go - I know she will be as successful in her new role and wish her all the very best.

I came across Amy when she was at the Citizenship Foundation, helping my firm, Cleary Gottlieb, with our involvement in Lawyers in Schools. I continued to be in contact with her when she left to join the National Literacy Trust, and she became the central catalyst for my firm's involvement with that charity, a relationship which has grown significantly recently with great thanks to her. I highly recommend Amy. She understands the importance of corporate social responsibility and has a natural ability to tap into the culture of a business to make it connect symbiotically with the charity she's representing at the time. She is very knowledgeable, super organised, responsive and most of all, she is not a cookie cutter - she takes a very tailored, sensitive approach and it has been very much appreciated.

Sep 2014 - Dec 2015
Management of the National Literacy Trust's key corporate accounts, including British Land, WHSmith, PwC, KPMG and Slaughter and May. With so many different literacy programmes on offer for UK schools, it was important to listen to the needs and priorities of businesses so that I could work with them to develop a synergised proposal. Key achievement in the role was developing a £500,000 relationship into a 3/4 of a million pound account.
