“In mid 2010 Connaught recognised the need to install some key interim professionals to manage operational stabilisation and transformation. Jenny took her place as a Director in the Midlands, working within the same team as me, reporting to the MD of Service Transformation & Business Improvement. Jenny brought a breath of fresh air into an unstable environment, quickly and consistently providing strong leadership and management, with a keen eye on implementing some new thinking. A very personable and effective senior professional, I would thoroughly recommend Jenny to any organisation and indeed look forward to working with her again in the future.”

“Jenny is a highly experienced and dynamic project manager. Her ability to take on a project at pace and provide a range of skills across stakeholder management, programme management as well as her ability to cut to the root cause of specific issues has been invaluable. I would recommend Jenny as a programme lead or appropriate role without hesitation. For Boots Opticians Jenny has delivered complex project management requirements for our frames management process in conjunction with management of field implementation delivering the new supply chain into our practices and in particular has provided invaluable support to managing what is a major change programme both in processes and culture for the business.”
