I can honestly say Alison was fantastic! From her prompt initial contact to a thorough planning process and super professional delivery of the keynote at our staff away day, Alison was great. We are a relatively small local charity team, and she took time to get to know us, our objectives and the key results we wanted for our awayday. Her energy both pre event and most importantly during the event was very high and infectious! Oh, and the IT went down at our event so Alison had to improvise on the spot which she did brilliantly and professionally. Honestly I can't speak highly enough of the quality and professionalism of Alison and her team. Our highly diverse staff team also gave great feedback on Alison. Don't hesitate in booking her as your speaker! More...

From the first contact Alison was engaged, enthused and a pleasure to deal with (and her ops director!). The way Alison delivered her talk was so fun, relevant to our event and everyone was captivated listening to her. She really got everyone excited and we were thrilled to have her as our guest. Would highly recommend Alison to bring that something special to any size event (we were just a small event of 18).
Thank you Alison - we look forward to seeing you at future events! More...

What a seamless and lovely experience it was work with Alison for our graduation event.
Having been let down by an internal supplier with less than 3 weeks until the event date, thinking it would probably be too late Alison absolutely saved the day, the response was really quick and we set up a meeting to discuss our requirements within a couple of days and Alison was extremely flexible in meeting our needs.
On the day Alison was a fantastic ball of positive energy infecting everyone she came into contact with.
She was able to put together an excellent presentation within a very short window, even making last minute adjustments at a moments notice, and the audience lapped it up!
If you're looking for a fun engaging positive speaker, Alison is definitely your go to.

What can i say, apart from what a woman & THANK YOU! Every single staff member couldn't praise/compliment you more on the 90mins of pure passionate motivational pitch. Alison, a local lass from Clydebank jumped at the opportunity to work with Ferrari Packaging Ltd and deliver her success stories over the years. Being from Glasgow herself, it made it that little bit more special motivating our Scottish family run business.

From our first call she was so upbeat and positive, right through to her delivered speech which was impeccable. We done a few zoom calls just to make sure the content was exactly what we wanted her to pitch. Having done this for over 10 years around the globe, Alison added her own personal touch and advise on what content she felt we would benefit from.

We had 24 staff members attend, without any doubt, our staff walked away with her techniques and practical skills to which the team can implement straight away.

On behalf of everyone from Ferrari Packaging Ltd, we can’t thank you and your team enough. Hopefully, our paths cross again in the near future. More...
