Testimonials

Jennie is a joy to work with being approachable, positive and empathetic as well as hugely experienced in the museums and heritage sector having worked with a wide range of museums of all types and sizes. Coupled with her strategic thinking, Jennie has also proved a very effective facilitator for MDUK activities and events.

– Claire Browne, chair, Museum Development UK

Jennie brought detailed knowledge, imagination, commitment and enthusiasm to our project. We wanted to set up a museum within the home of the Cumbrian poet Norman Nicholson but had little idea as to how to design or equip it. Jennie filled in all the blanks, and more. She also provided valuable input to our business plan, enabling us to put a much more effective document in front of prospective funders.

Jennie was the project manager for a NLHF ‘Resilience Project’ with Mountain Heritage Trust. She was meticulous throughout the project and helped the Trust formulate development plans in a clear and concise way to support growth and moving the Trust forward into the 21st century.
