What our client says

I am delighted to provide this testimonial for Gemma and the GLK team. In their work with City of Doncaster Council, they have proven themselves to be exceptional professionals who bring significant expertise to complex multi-stakeholder projects, particularly in the education sector.  Their deep understanding of Department for Education requirements and processes has been invaluable in delivering successful outcomes. What sets them apart is their ability to navigate complex stakeholder relationships while maintaining unwavering focus on project objectives. They have consistently demonstrated their ability to bring diverse parties together to build consensus around practical solutions.

As a trusted advisor, they provide strategic insights that go well beyond traditional project delivery. Their recommendations are always thoughtful, pragmatic, and aligned with our organisational goals.  I've been particularly impressed by their ability to anticipate challenges and proactively develop mitigation strategies, ensuring smooth project delivery even in challenging circumstances. Their track record of successful project completion speaks for itself.

Based on over a decades experience working together, I would not hesitate to recommend them for any professional project delivery role, particularly those requiring strategic thinking and stakeholder management expertise. They have consistently exceeded our expectations and would be an asset to any organisation seeking a seasoned professional with proven capabilities in delivering complex projects and programmes.
