Working with Sophie has been an absolute delight. She manages to juggle professionalism, clarity and strategic thinking with empathy, fun and a real sense of what we do. She is approachable, kind and holds boundaries in a way which is inspiring. Sophie was integral in both getting our company on the right path as well as building my confidence as an Artistic Director, and showing me with patience and encouragement what leadership can look like. I thoroughly recommend working with her.

Sophie worked with us at Culture in Common over a year to review our governance model and to deliver our Awayday with staff, consortium members and local community champions.  Sophie went above and beyond in her individual consultation work and preparation of detailed, informed documents for us to review and move forward with.  Her facilitation of our Awayday, was organised, calm, creative and engaging and we look forward to continuing our relationship with her into the future.

Sophie understands how local government works and was very good at convincing often sceptical Councillors and senior officers about the value of the arts.

I asked Sophie to undertake a review of one of our venues which she tackled with her usual enthusiasm and ‘can do’ attitude.The resulting constructive and concise report was well written and delivered on time, helping us to decide what we needed to do next.

Sophie was a real pleasure to work with and I can’t recommend her highly enough.” 

Sophie is quite simply the ideal producer.

Aside from being a joy to work with, I most value her honesty and ability to direct ideas and concepts compassionately whilst maintaining artistic integrity.

Together we have created many exciting, memorable, and fulfilling creative projects that I am incredibly proud of.

“Sophie fostered a unique relationship with us as a company… She understood our need to take risks, to ask the difficult questions, and she created a safe space where that nuanced discussion could evolve in to something useful and transformative. She has set the bar and she has set it high!

[Your report] is incredibly well considered and helpful… you’ve encouraged us to think about things in a different way and have helped to remind us of the power, purpose and potential.
