My values
Solid foundations
I believe in transparency and accountability. I value honesty and integrity – in myself, and in the great people I choose to work with. Take a look at my values for more details about the ethics that are rooted in Simonside. Are we aligned? Great – get in touch!
No bulls**t
I don’t ever tell clients something just because it’s what they want to hear. When suppliers do this, it should be a red flag that they may not have the skills you’re paying for, or the tenacity to get the best results for you. I am a down-to-earth Yorkshire woman, who says it as it is – clearly, and from an informed standpoint. And if I can’t deliver what you require, I’ll tell you. If I can introduce you to someone who is an expert in the field you’re going for, I will. My most fundamental value is integrity, which means I don’t bulls**t my clients.
Great work for great people
I have a huge amount of passion for my work, and I put 110% into helping my clients to get results. In return, I need clients that are committed to making the partnership a success, who can work with me to push forward the strategies we devise. Clients who value the expertise I bring to the table. If you have ambition and drive, together we can achieve great things.
Outside-the-box thinking
My job is to see the bigger picture and bring an objective perspective, so I will ask the questions that employees (or business owners) don’t think to. This leads to a new way of looking at problems and possible solutions. I will challenge the status quo and stretch your thinking along the way to ensure I can deliver robust, future-proofed strategies that will take your business to where you want it to be.
Clarity
I pride myself on offering down-to-earth, practical advice, so you understand the bigger picture about the path ahead, how we’re going to achieve your goals, and exactly what you’re paying for. I won’t overcomplicate the solution or create a smokescreen with impressive words and jargon. The best results are achieved when we all have a clear vision.
Collaboration
Communication is the key to any successful relationship. As well as being an integral part of my clients’ teams, I am also well-versed in leading creative and development teams. So, on any job where third-party suppliers are required, I source the right people for your project based on their experience, availability, and budget. And I’ll advocate for you to ensure the output meets your expectations and the overarching strategy we’ve developed. Two or three minds is better than one.
