The Endorsement

“Nick has displayed great conduct in his role as trustee contributing to all areas of discussions both positive and negative with clarity and innovation. He attends all meetings prepared with the knowledge of the agenda and focuses on all issues in a professional manner that drives our charity in a new direction.  Nick has shared his knowledge and expertise in all important matters and is advocating well for our charity.  His daughter now attends our dance classes, so he sees the charity business from the point of view now as a customer which has proved invaluable for improving our systems.” Emma Mallam, Motion Control Dance

 

“I can’t recommend the board placement scheme enough to professionals looking to develop their skills. I’ve learned an awful lot in the last 2 and a half years, and continue to learn as the charity evolves to cope with the ever-changing challenges facing the arts sector in Wales” – Nick Robinson
