Testimonials
“I like the way Gillian always understands the commercial reasoning behind our work, but has the wonderful ability to marry this with her natural attention to detail, which allows me to have complete confidence in everything she does for us. She is very knowledgeable and whilst her advice is always technically sound, she is happy to provide advice in the context of the commercial realities of the deal.”
