"As a member of the senior executive team, culminating in a period as Dean of Nottingham University Business School, I witnessed at first hand Sally's outstanding performance and contribution throughout her career at  the University. Once Sally was entrusted with a task, I knew immediately and with complete confidence that it would be completed with maximum effectiveness and the minimum of fuss in a timely and highly profession manner.  Her particular strengths include the blending of a highly strategic mindset with a commitment to operational excellence, the ability to work calmly on her own initiative even under intense pressure and innate leadership capabilities that engender respect and support on the part of all around her.

The significant scope and reach of Sally's role underpinned the success of NUBS and the wider University. Her commitment to excellence and continuous improvement not only reinforced the foundations of the business school but also made a significant contribution to enhancing the School's reputation and performance.

Her expertise in developing and implementing robust systems and processes ensured that our operations ran smoothly and efficiently. Her exceptional horizon scanning, risk analysis, and development of innovative and effective solutions meant that we were always well prepared for the many challenges that we faced.

Sally’s detailed knowledge of complex accreditation and regulatory compliance was also invaluable and she led accreditation teams across the UK, China, and Malaysia, playing a crucial role in achieving Triple Crown Accreditation (the “Gold Standard” for universities globally). The global scope of Sally’s role and achievements highlight her exceptional ability to manage and inspire diverse teams across dispersed geographical locations an increasingly important attribute in an increasingly globally connected business environment. In short, I have no hesitation in recommending Sally in the strongest possible terms". James Devlin B.Sc. (Econ), Ph.D., MCSI, CCBI, GSFP Former Dean of Nottingham University Business School.

“Sally from Bybrook Consulting supported the school on a recent health sector professional and statutory regulatory body programme validation, they provided immense value to the staff even though health was not their primary background. Their prior experience successfully guiding professional program validations combined with exceptional project management capabilities made them indispensable.

What truly set Sally apart was their talent for stakeholder engagement across all levels; they seamlessly collaborated with faculty, administrators, and staff, ensuring input was heard and factoring in diverse perspectives. Their ability to build positive working relationships facilitated productive discussions and consensus. Sally paid meticulous attention to detail, rigorously reviewing learning outcomes, assessments, placements and overall program structure against the profession standards.

Perhaps most impressively, Sally deftly navigated the complexities of university systems and processes with a professionalism and perseverance that ensured initiatives stayed on track. Their outstanding project management skills and responsive communication made them seamless partners fully committed to our success.

We are tremendously grateful to Sally, for their collaborative approach, and unwavering focus, as their impact extended far beyond the immediate project, helping to positively influence a much longer-term change management programme.” Prof. Kate Grafton, Professor of Allied Health Professions Education, Head of School of Health & Social Care
