Testimonial
I worked with Anslem for over a number of years during which time he delivered an impressive range of initiatives and projects in the realms of cultural development and social enterprise. I recommend him warmly to anyone wishing to bring creative ideas to fruition in this field. He has a collaborative style and knows how to make partnerships work. He is experienced in dealing with multiple audiences and stakeholders. He has his finger on the pulse in terms of achieving real impact and results that make the world is a better place.
Christian Tilleray, Director of Culture, Learning & Enterprise at Westway Trust
I had an excellent experience working with Anslem on a major local authority digital programme targeting young people aged 16-24 on their journey into work. He led on the work stream that commissioned a voluntary sector partner to engage young residents . Anslem was excellent! He project managed efficiently from end to end, keeping the residents engaged throughout , sourced and managed the staff team and ensured all other contractual obligations were adhered to. He did all of this with patience, professionalism and good humour whilst demonstrating his passion and expertise in young people and creativity. I would recommend anyone interested in "getting the job done" with someone who knows what they are talking about to work with Anslem.
