honour for doing what I love best - bringing together talent with projects that put
creative integrity at their core.  



"It is immensely rewarding to help grow a creative concept that both wows an audience
and generates a positive return on investment. I want to thank the many great creatives
and the many wonderful clients I've worked with both in the UK and around the world.
Awards are always a wonderfully welcome recognition of effort and going forward a Royal
honour will take some beating."

are performers or Ministers of State, SMEs or multinationals. She's worked across the
globe and done an enormous amount to make the UK creative industries a global success
