Having worked with Sarah for two year on the board of UK Screen, I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is an ultimate professional with a breadth of skills. She could identify strategic opportutites and then movtivate a diverse group of individuals across the industry to come together and drive change. She balances a need to deliver with the patience and influencing skills to take people with her on the journey. The was with government, industry and association members. With her exceptional writing skills, she was a true asset to the organisation and the industry and someone I would wanted to work with again in the future.

As a UK Screen Board Director, Sarah made a valuable contribution in helping us to refine our strategic goals as well as presenting pragmatic solutions to current issues. Sarah is not only a natural communicator but is generous in sharing her knowledge with others. I’m sorry we didn’t get to work together for longer but who knows what the future will bring.
