“Beccy is a great presence to have in any office – smart, conscientious, always up for a challenge, and more than willing to get stuck in. Oh, and she’s funny too.

When I worked alongside her at The Spark, she always impressed me with her ability to juggle so many different roles at the same time. Whether it was administration or ad handling, running editorial pages or dealing with readers, organising meetings or keeping everyone’s spirits up as a deadline loomed, she always seemed to do it with a smile and a positive attitude. And it’s not just that she can manage a heavy workload, it’s also that she’s confident enough to suggest better ways of doing things.

Throw into the mix her technical abilities in areas such as proofreading, feature writing, news gathering and web publishing, and you are onto a winner – especially if your organisation is in the third sector, environmentally aligned or ethically minded, all things she has extensive experience in and knowledge of. So give her a ring or drop her a line!”

“Beccy is a great person, a wonderful writer, full of ideas, she has total integrity, highly intelligent – easily gets her head around stuff which baffled me.

She holds The Spark together as production manager and has developed the web site with aplomb (she also loves words). And if I had to think of an advertising slogan for her ‘The world is better with Beccy’.”

Nick Thomas is a freelance writer.

 

 

“Beccy is very easy to chat to and really helped me to feel comfortable when we walked and talked to discuss her article about my netwalking for the Spark Magazine. The finished article was clear, positive and conveyed my enthusiasm without giving the impression that I was a complete Polly Anna.

Thank you Beccy.”
