I recently contacted Lorna to help me explore a potential career path after being made redundant and was extremely pleased with the plethora of job roles Lorna was able to match my experience and skills with.
Not only was Lorna able to find a variety of roles I could apply for immediately but she was able to identify a range of options that I could take short courses for in order to get established quickly. Additionally Lorna’s enthusiasm for helping others allows her to creatively identify potential independent roles to start your own business and her positive attitude is very refreshing and gives you the push you need to find the perfect role for you.
I would highly recommend Lorna to anyone looking to broaden their horizons in the world of work!

I had worked with her before and she is just as supportive and encouraging as she was then. I had a career break and with her couching and feedback I was able to confidently tackle applications and interviews.

It was a pleasure to work with Lorna. I can’t doubt her knowledge and effort she put in to supporting me. Its been about 3 years since graduating and I struggled to get a job in my field. I got a job offer within 2 months of working with her. My only regret is not coming in contact with her sooner! More...

Pet Sitting
I have looked after many pets and indeed have 3 x rescue cats of my own - I am DBS cleared and am also BPSS cleared which is clearance to deal with government contracts - until my very recent departure from the corporate world in a quest to do something more aligned to my passions in life.
I am mobile and flexible to travel and for house stays, also happy to board pets. I love walking and have had some great walks in bedfordshire and tring.
