Testimonials

The event went really well and Tanni was fantastic. The level at which she pitched her talk was perfect and it was clear that she had an appreciation of what we did as an industry through mentioning her involvement with the infrastructure planning talks for the Olympics. Everyone at the event commented on what a great speaker she was and that it was nice that she spoke about her life as a whole rather than just her accomplishments as an athlete which I think made it even more interesting to listen to.
On behalf of Health Facilities Scotland, we would like to thank you for taking the time out to speak at our conference. Your talk was a great inspiration to us, interesting and also entertaining as well.
Tanni was absolutely fantastic! She was extremely welcoming, warm and professional and made the night run so smoothly. Please pass on our thanks to her - we will definitely be in touch about next year.
