Bio
Karen Wespieser MBE
Louis offers a unique combination of policy insight, research skills and writing ability. His experience of working at senior levels in a variety of organisations means that he is a reliable and independent worker with excellent communication skills that he uses to ensure all stakeholders are kept informed in his projects. I would not hesitate to work with Louis again if I had the opportunity.
