Testimonials
“Mentoring by Barbara means Barbara gives it her all. And she really does in every area of business support, in my case a food business. She quickly gets on top of priority needs and taps into her very broad range of knowledge, network, training, expertise, experiences, technical skills and creative thinking. She is an encyclopaedia of all things Media, Food and Culinary. Barbara was tailor-made for our business and she really cared. That spoke volumes to me.”
Will Taylor, Glastry Farm Ice-Cream
“We still work with Barbara following on from our Elevate project in 2016. She has superb contacts, a strong work ethic and always goes the extra mile.”
Martina Calvey, Achill Mountain Lamb
“Barbara introduced me to a Northern Ireland distributor who she thought would be a good fit. We shipped our first order today. Delighted!”
Margaret Fleming, DessertFirst
