About Project Management/Consultancy

Philippa has worked as our Creative Agent at Penn Wood Primary school on two of our Creative Partnerships projects over the last couple of years.  She has a real understanding of how artists, pupils and teachers can work successfully together.  She is creative in her approach and was very effective at guiding our thinking in discussions to solve problems and consider new ideas when working on our projects.  She is a highly organised individual and a great communicator.  Her sheer commitment and dedication has contributed to the success of our projects in school“.
Creative Partnerships School Co-ordinator, Penn Wood Primary School Slough

Philippa has worked as the Creative Agent for St Joseph’s school for the past three years.  She has always been meticulous and thorough in this role and has used her expertise and contacts to guide us in the right direction whilst on the Creative Partnerships programme.  Philippa has helped to document our school’s creative journey in detail over the last three years and has understood the aims and needs of our pupils and teachers along the way“.
Creative Partnerships School Co-ordinator, St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School Bracknell

I wanted to acknowledge the quality of your work and thank you so much for your input.  It is clear that you have contributed a huge amount to the wellbeing and professional development of (one of) these four young people, who are all, in their own way, going on to greater things and thriving in these tough times.  They also attribute a huge amount to your support as their mentors.  We at OYAP are particularly appreciative as you were in the vanguard… on an untried or tested pilot programme – the success of which is due in no small measure to the unique relationships you were able to offer“.
Helen Le Brocq, Director OYAP Trust, following on from the Young Creative Leaders’ Training Programme

Philippa is a highly organised and motivated individual. Always thinking ‘outside the box’ she achieved an astounding result (with an education programme) in a very short time and managed to exceed the targets we set her.”
Paul Stewart, Marketing Director, South Hill Park Arts Centre

Philippa has worked with me on putting together tour dates for my Edinburgh Festival show.  She quickly grasped the nature of my show and the target audience, researched likely venues, and had the tenacious communication ability required to secure bookings!  I have found Philippa easy to work with, always approachable and knowledgeable about the sector. Her successful sourcing of gigs, and willingness to undertake some of the associated admin and contractual work for me, has left me able to concentrate on my own writing and professional development – definitely value for money!

I have found Philippa to be an excellent colleague to work with. I’ve found her to be really dedicated, extremely conscientious, extremely hard working… I think Philippa has done an exceedingly good, professional, worthwhile job that has helped to make the project the success it is“.
