KIND WORDS

  • "Working with Mel in both the private and public sector has provided me with a privileged insight to how she painstakingly and methodically approaches what she does with the highest of attention to detail and consideration for the context she finds herself working in. Her ability to take complex matters and develop policies that are easy to read and follow is a real skill. Perhaps more than any of that and above all of the skills she brings, she also really cares - and when you are writing policies that will impact people's lives that is so important".
