Testimonials

Vicky Pryce was lovely and got great feedback - hope to use her again another time.
Vicky opened the conference. As suspected she was brilliantly on message and very relevant. She has probably one of the biggest brains of anyone I have had the pleasure listening to. Her capacity to retain facts and cite relevant examples is second to none. She launched conference with strong statement that the APMP is a truly professional body addressing strategic issues, and not just about smooth feel good speakers. Excellent!
