Hi, I'm Natalie!

Hear from one of my clients...

Natalie is very passionate and knowledgeable about sustainability - I learnt a lot form her in this respect and really enjoyed our working dynamic.

She is extremely hardworking and was managing lots of different people, factories and suppliers for a soon to launch new brand at the time. There was a lot going on and an enormous amount of pressure on her but she handled everything promptly and professionally and always with a smile on her face. I could not recommend her enough.
