I’ve always been hugely impressed by Joanne Major’s drive, vision, and meticulous attention to detail.

“A wealth of collaborative experience”

Joanne Major has a wealth of collaborative experience. Her delivery is strong and confident with a no nonsense approach that I came to trust. This is invaluable when clarity and action is required.

We as a firm are happy to recommend them.
