Bio
Stephen McPeake
I was mentored by Gemma through a Connected Places Catapult project and even though she didn't have any experience with my business before, the research she conducted and information gathered has been very useful in the development of our platform. Gemma has been able to point us to prospective clients and funding opportunities that we never thought of before. I would have no hesitation to recommend Gemma as a mentor and consultant!
Carl Davis
Gemma is a really personable person who offers support which is easy to understand but effective. She took the time to really understand my business, and I left our sessions feeling better able to implement my marketing strategy. I would definitely recommend Gemma Ryan."
