21 September 2008: A bright and enthusiastic person with good contacts within publishing sectors. Our brief was only part time so the challenge was to get our share of her time - which she accomplished.

  Excellent
09 May 2008: Becky is an exceptional sales person, within a very short time she had sold her first stand and lead from the front thereafter. I would not hesitate in recommending Becky to any future employers and wish her continued success in a career that she clearly excels in.
