Colleagues describe her as "Having worked in events for most of the years of my London career, I have never met a more competent head of events. Colette is the best in the business with unmatched organizational and strategic skills and attention to detail. Dedicated and determined, Colette always delivers beyond and above expectations, and I was very impressed with her ability to juggle many projects and managing team members at once. You can tell when you are going to one of Colette’s events, because everything is perfect. Delivering large-scale events and doing it well means having great strategical skills and being able to manage big teams to make sure everything is on point and everyone delivers to the highest standard, and Colette master this perfectly. I can't recommend her enough! " and "Colette is hands down the hardest working person I have ever had the pleasure of working with. In the run up to an event she would work up until 11pm and still be the first in the office the next morning, dedicated to delivering nothing less than perfection. Colette has a style and sophistication that transforms events of all sectors into a VIP experience that would entertain a diverse range of guests. She is an excellent leader and supports and rewards her staff wholeheartedly. Her dedication to delivering above and beyond client expectations was an incredible support to me as a sponsorship manager. She is particularly skilled at dealing with difficult clients and has excellent negotiation skills when it comes to getting the very best of everything from venues to wine. I worked for many years in corporate sponsorship and 9/10 the food is bloody terrible at awards ceremonies but no matter the budget, Collette’s menu would satisfy the guests unanimously. Collette is an incredibly driven and creative events professional and I very much hope that I have the pleasure of creating amazing events with her again. "
