Testimonials

“Linda cares about people, and that is fundamental to everything she works on. I’ve worked with her as a co-commissioner, as a producer and as a programmer, and in everything she does she takes the time to ensure that everyone involved has the best possible experience. Artistically she has fantastic intuition, allowing her to realise incredibly ambitious, visionary projects that have something really special at their heart. Trust her, you’ll be very glad you did.”

— Annabel Turpin, CEO and Artistic Director at ARC Stockton

“Linda was a crucial member of our small high-performing team [at the Albany] and was visionary, driven, dynamic and conscientious. She is a truly creative producer and builds deep and lasting relationships with colleagues, artists and communities who respect her commitment, her ability to walk in their shoes and to go above and beyond to make brilliant work happen. I would work with her again in a heartbeat. I certainly hope I will again in the future.”

— Rachel Nelken, CEO Raw Material and Former Head of Creative Programmes at the Albany/Senior Producer at Roundhouse

“I have worked with Linda for over two years, and her work has ranged from programming seasons and festivals at the Albany, managing multiple projects and producing new work from an international co-production to a national £1million project. She is creative, organised, adaptable, conscientious, and able to work sensitively and effectively with a range of artists and stakeholders. She’s great to work with and a real asset to any cultural project or programme.”

— Gavin Barlow, CEO and Artistic Director of the Albany

“Linda is both everything I wanted in, and everything I didn't know I needed from access support. As a disabled creative, one of the most important things to me is good communication. Linda's style in that respect is clear, precise, adaptable - and kind. She is abundantly knowledgeable, not only about grant application writing in general - but more specifically, she has lots of Arts Council England related knowledge that was incredibly useful to my application. In addition to being very skilled in the task at hand, Linda was an incredible joy to be around. I absolutely loved working with her and would 100% recommend her services.”

— JN Benjamin, freelance writer and multidisciplinary creative

“Linda has many admirable qualities as a producer. Both as a theatre-maker and co-producer, the ones I prize most are:

Flawless budgeting which means I don’t have to get involved

Creativity, not just practicality

Listening above all

Being firm when necessary (usually with me) and fantastically easy-going the rest of the time

However, I BEG you not to employ her in any capacity, because otherwise the possibility exists that she will be too busy to work with me.”

— Christopher Green, Writer and Theatre-Maker
