“The pillars of professionalism, quality and integrity underpin all of Kate’s work. Unlike many, she is able to completely assimilate complicated briefs whilst then balancing both the requirement for speed of output and also producing work of the highest standard. She is exceptionally articulate in both thought and writing and was an absolute asset to any project we enlisted her help on.”
- Mariah Turnbull, Verkerks Marketing Manager

“By any measure, Kate is an exceptional person…In various roles throughout the past 35 years of my working career I have employed and led a number of different people in broadcasting, newspapers, tourism and local government – very few, if any, measure up to Kate…I would predict an exceptional career for Kate – as I stated previously, she is an exceptional person.”
- Rory Christie, former Communications Manager, Waimakariri District Council

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Kate for many years and she always conducts herself with absolute professionalism. She is extremely well organised, a wonderful communicator and always delivers what she promises to produce. No matter the subject, Kate’s pieces display insight and clarity. Reliable, efficient and a first-rate writer, I look forward to working with Kate long into the future.”
