I have known Anita for many years. She was initially brought into our company as a consultant to assist with marketing, but has helped us since with all aspects of the business. She is a very positive, energetic person that can always come up with a solution, because if she doesn't know something herself, she has a wide array of associates built up through her Family Business Place network that can assist. She has great integrity, is very personable and is able to communicate effectively at all levels. Any changes made to our business have always been very beneficial, and I would have no hesitation in recommending Anita in assisting any company in a marketing, non-executive Director or strategic role.

Anita is a skilled and experienced advisor on Family Business matters. She listens and assesses what each family needs to do to resolve any conflict and to achieve successful succession from one generation to another. Clients appreciate her experience and wisdom and contact base. She is a warm hearted and sensitive advisor whilst also achieving effective results for her clients.

I have known and worked with Anita on a variety of projects over the past 20+ years covering areas such as design, marketing and software development. In addition to this Anita has set up and built a market leading organisation to support and grow family owned businesses in the UK. This has allowed her to showcase her excellent networking skills and natural empathy for the benefit on many businesses throughout the Country. I believe her exposure to a wide variety of organisations, both large and small, makes her an ideal NED Canditate well worthy of consideration as and addition to your Board of Directors.

I have known Anita Brightley-Hodges for over 15 years and can highly recommend her as a very experienced business adviser and non-executive director at a strategic level.
