Testimonials

I worked with Julie in a professional capacity for seven years, during her role as Trust Business & Compliance Manager at the Bishop Konstant Catholic Academy Trust, where I worked as Chief Financial Officer.

We both began working for the Trust at a time where the Central Team roles, responsibilities, systems, processes, policies, and procedures needed to be set up and Julie was instrumental in achieving this, in essence beginning with a blank sheet of paper.

Having worked closely with Julie for such a lengthy period I can confirm that her professionalism, dedication, and attention-to-detail are exemplary and second to none.

She is a highly dependable, diligent, open, trustworthy leader who can build innovative systems, processes, and procedures from scratch, having extremely exacting standards, the high quality of her work reflecting this.

Julie is passionate about education and is committed to achieving the absolute best outcomes for pupils. She works well under pressure, solving complex problems and can run projects competently to meet tight project deadlines. She is a people person and extremely knowledgeable, being a great asset to any team or organisation she works with.

Julie’s strengths lie in all areas of operations, having successfully run large capital projects, ensuring governance compliance, setting up structures, systems, policies, and procedures and ensuring effective risk management.



I would highly recommend Julie to anyone who commissions her to work with them. I thoroughly enjoyed working with her and would work with her again in an instant.

I have worked with Julie in a professional capacity over several years, during her role as Trust Business & Compliance Manager (The Bishop Konstant Catholic Academy Trust) and her more recent role as Chief Operating Officer (The Brigshaw Learning Partnership).

The initial thing that struck me when I first began working with Julie was her professionalism and attention to detail, which are second to none.

Julie has a genuine passion for her work and is committed to doing an excellent job to deliver impact for the pupils of today and the future. She is a problem solver who is solution focused and is able to work on, and can be relied upon, to lead on complex projects, in crisis situations and to meet set deadlines.

Julie’s strengths lie in all aspects of operations and project management, particularly those relating to capital ventures. In the time I have worked with Julie, these have been focused on her supporting the academies within the respective academy trusts she has worked for, and Julie is also able to turn her hand to other important roles, especially around compliance and risk management.

In the time I have worked with Julie, we have focussed our work around governance compliance, ensuring that structures, policies, and processes introduced and implemented ensured accountability, transparency and upheld the vision and ethos of each respective organisation.

I cannot recommend Julie highly enough to anyone who commissions her to work with them. She is a dependent, reliable and trustworthy colleague who leads by example and gets the job done to a very, very high standard!
