Renee McTavish

I recruited Melanie 2 years ago for a marketing role at Arup and it was the best hire I've ever made! Melanie is positive, pro-active, responsible and a highly experienced marketer. She is good with stakeholders/clients, an excellent project manager and a true team player. We sorely miss her in our London office since she returned to Australia.

Melanie is an exceptional marketing professional with excellent digital marketing expertise. Her impact on our global water business has been extensive, broadening our market profile and engaging our portfolio of clients with focused and incisive campaigns. She is a self-starter and needs very little direction. She is extremely professional and dedicated and engages others easily and effectively. She is a massive loss to our global water business.
