‘We could not have executed our Wrentham Avenue and Old Dunira House projects without you. Your calm and professional approach was consistent throughout. Furthermore, your wide array of industry contacts made the jobs much easier. The thing I appreciated the most was your approach to efficient administration. As a client, I loved the quality of client information, from the design proposals to the easy-to-understand cost and programming spreadsheets. Amy and I are so grateful for everything you have done for us.’

‘I’d never really seen the true meaning of effective ‘networking’ until I met Annabel. Her professional and discreet tenacity is something that cannot be replicated easily. There aren’t many in the industry whom she doesn’t know, and she has managed to gain many ‘fans’ in partner businesses during her time at Sims Hilditch – they’ve spoken highly of her to me on many occasions. She also has the most comprehensive memory known to man and couples this with boundless enthusiasm. Always.’
