Helen delivered some excellent training for the library staff at the London school of economics. It was tailored perfectly to our needs as we embark upon an exhibitions programme in a new bespoke space in the library. We needed help on getting it going and refining our plans.
Helen was approachable, knowledgeable and friendly. Working with her to plan the session was a breeze and I would not hesitate to work with her again. Thanks so much Helen!
