Just a short note to convey my sincere thanks to you for such a great job in Edinburgh last week. Your contribution to our company was just what Neale and I needed and your professional approach really helped us to "make a difference". You helped us get off on exactly the right foot.

BMF

Thank you so much for coming to our BMF conference last week and for making such a positive impact both as a facilitator and as a speaker. You made the conference session on Friday morning run really well and your talk in the afternoon gave everybody plenty of food for thought.

NHS ~ LSA Conference Nottingham

Thank you so much for your brilliant session at the NHS conference. Your session hit just the right note of formality, informality, professionalism and fun - many of the delegates were crying with laughter but took away very serious messages. On a professional note, I basked in reflected glory, as I made the initial booking for your session and kept telling everybody that you were going to be brilliant - and you were! I very much hope that our paths cross again in the future.

MISYS Retail Banking

Many thanks for your exceptional support at our recent sales kick-off event. Having worked with you in my previous role as marketing director of Unisys, I knew you could deliver us the professionalism and the enthusiasm, but I was particularly keen that, in this event, you showed an understanding of the peculiarities of our market. Clearly you had done your homework! Our planning and strategy, matched with your enthusiasm, knowledge and skill as a facilitator clearly did the trick thanks once again.

Marketing Director Misys Retail Banking

CIES ~ The Food Business Forum

Frances Edmonds was a moderator at the CIES World Food Business Summit which took place in Barcelona from 18-20th June 2003. The summit, which is the event for the leaders of the global food business attracted over 900 participants from 40 countries. Ms Edmonds was our event moderator on Friday 20th June 2003. Our brief to run this day and bring it together with all of the sessions from the previous two days were complex. The task was managed with intelligence and wit by Ms Edmonds.

The day's proceedings were opened with a suitable call to attention in the requested theatrical fashion. The day continued at a fast pace, with a large number of equally high profile speakers to be managed on stage and reflected accurately during the event summary.

Ms Edmonds intervention was both entertaining and of key importance for us, always relevant. We have asked Ms Edmonds to join us again at next year's summit in Rome. It has been a pleasure to work with her.

Butler Group

I am writing to thank you once again for facilitating this year's series of Butler Group Symposia with your usual wit, élan and intelligence. Your ability to master complex issues swiftly, the clarity and elegance of your scripting and, of course, your own unique combination of charm, confidence and gravitas on stage are vital in the crystallising and communication of key messages. In addition, your continual research to grasp our issues and ensure our desired outcomes, makes you so much more than an "external" facilitator; we regard you as an integral and highly valued member of the Butler Group team. On behalf of the Butler Group team, I can say that we all look forward to your working with us again next year.

On behalf of all of us at Christie & Co I would like to thank you most sincerely for your contribution to the success of last Friday at the Grand Hotel Brighton. You facilitated the morning session superbly. The award ceremony went extremely well and a number of people commented on how professional this particular part of the day was handled.

Your assistance in other areas were also extremely helpful. Frances, all I can say is thank you very much and I hope that we will work together again in the not too distant future.

“High Net Awards”

Frances was an absolute pleasure to deal with, laughing and jolly throughout all our dealings. On the night, she made no fuss, no celeb. tempers and mingled and chatted with our guests, much to their delight. She also stole the show in a fabulous red silk outfit that wowed the crowd. Our audience – private bankers and wealth lawyers – thought her the perfect choice and the thanks and praise have poured in after our event. Her witty one-liners and well delivered lines had our audience spluttering in their glasses as they delighted in the ribbing their peers received. She is a legend and I highly recommend her.

Publisher of “In Brief” magazine and Organiser of “High Net Awards”

East Mentoring Forum Ltd

May I thank you on behalf of East Mentoring Forum and everybody who attended for being the best Chair of our conference that we could have ever wished for. You were truly amazing: funny, focussed, on the button, informed, involved, stunning to look at and clearly the best in everyone’s opinion (yes, I’ve looked at the feedback forms.) It was all summed up when the lady from the audience was asked what she wanted most of all and she said it was lunch with you. What a great endorsement.

Terry Johnson,
Director, East Mentoring Forum Ltd

Ericsson Executive Summit

In a very natural and elegant way, Frances combined key Ericsson content/messages with her own ideas and references and made it very special and personalized for the audience. She did excellent background work and preparation and understood very quickly the essence of the core challenges of the event and topics covered. Her style of delivery was personal, charming and she has quick reflections – audience response was excellent.

I write to thank you most sincerely for attending our Eve of Conference Meeting.

Your contribution was definitely the "icing on the cake". Your message was an important one and most eloquently put. THe humour that you brought raised the spirits of all there. We have never received such positive feedback on our meeting, especially from our male colleagues.

If I am ever in a position to recommend you to other organisations I certainly will.

Kind regards,

Dear Frances

What can I say. Your speech at our Strategy Workshop was fantastic and well positioned.

The messages of service, excellence, respect, communication and openness were perfectly positioned. Whenever I think of giraffe or turkeys I shall remember your speech with great memories.

I hope you enjoyed spending the evening with the team, I know people were still queuing up to talk to you even after you left.

Thanks again, you really made our luxury BBQ a memorable event.

Best Wishes
Kevin Beeston
