Daniel Boulger

We briefly worked together on a variety of PR aspects of a new venue operating project, whilst Simmie covered our vacant Head of PR & Comms position. She did everything we needed with no initial knowledge of the project or its people. Simmie was professional, personable and proactive: the latter of which is difficult when thrown in at the deep end. I'd recommend her as a freelancer without hesitation.
