Bio
David Smith
Working with Madeleine was always a pleasure. As the branch manager at Sets Drapes Screens I had a lot of interaction with her in the three or so years that our paths crossed. Maddie was always professional in her approach and dealings with both suppliers and clients alike. Always keen to learn and take advice if she was unsure of anything and happy to share her skills with others. Good under pressure which in our industry is most of the time, she always maintained a cool exterior when dealing with potentially disastrous situations. I would have no hesitation at all in recommending Maddie. She would be an asset in any position dealing with both clients and production teams.

I always found Maddy to be extremely good at listening to what the end clients wanted . She was not scared to ask if she didn't know or understand what was needed . She has good personnel skills and would often offer assistance to other Project Manager
