“Cloud Cents is a small business which has been going for a few years. I decided to enter the Wanaka Business Awards and due to not knowing the process or what was required, I engaged with Trish to provide a review of the awards entry. Trish was very professional and provided a lot of great insights, and considerations for the application. Trish has a wealth of experience, I would have no hesitation in recommending Trish for any type of engagement. ”

“Trish was an enormous help to us, especially as we were entering for the first time. Her experience at writing entries and insights into the industry were definitely beneficial to the success of our entry. We would have struggled to get the entry finished in time without Trish managing our timeline for us too.”
