““I wanted to extend my sincere thanks and appreciation
for your outstanding contribution to our Institute of Directors Annual event.
Your presentation was engaging, witty, and full of Mandie personality. From the moment you began speaking, you captured the audience’s attention and held it effortlessly.
The blend of humour, authenticity, and insight made for a talk that was not only enjoyable but also deeply meaningful.
What stood out most was the way you brought your personal story, and your relationships with those around you, into the room. It takes courage to speak openly, yet you did so in a way that was both sensitive and empowering. Your ability to turn experiences into lessons that others can learn from is a true mark of leadership and integrity.
Your contribution added enormous value to the event, and we are genuinely grateful for the energy, warmth, and insight you brought. You transformed what could have been a difficult situation into one of the most memorable sessions of the day.”

Kay Westrap, HSBC Investment Banking
“I recently asked Mandie to be a guest speaker at a Santander Breakthrough Session. Mandie was more than happy to be a guest speaker and was really well received by the audience of SME business owners. The talk Mandie gave was regarding the “non effects” of Brexit and I found it to very eye opening and the general audience took a lot of helpful tips to help their business prosper in a time of uncertainty. Great knowledge and easy to work with.”
Peter Singh, Business Banking Manager, Santander Business Banking
“I attended two talks that Mandie gave at Business East ‘Networking No Nos’ and ‘Marketing Production Line – How to make sales even on a beach’ and both were excellent and very informative. Mandie has a great way of delivering her subject and I came away truly inspired!
