Joanna is an extremely competent and capable event manager. Joanna provided our company with strategic advice and operational support on a national program of workshops for a significant Commonwealth Department. Joanna's understanding of the brief, organisational skills, attention to detail and professionalism contributed to a successful program of workshops. Her advice advice was invaluable. I would have no hesitation in recommending Joanna.
