What Our Clients Think Of Katy

“We worked with Katy as a speaker for an event for IET Scholarship recipients and she was both excellent and engaging in her delivery.

She was incredibly informative and spoke at length about a truly important subject that young engineers should keep at the forefront of their minds. Katy drew on her own personal experiences to bring the subject to life even more to fully demonstrate the significance and independence of equality, diversity and inclusion for engineers.

We look forward to the opportunity to work with Katy in the future.”

IET Awards and Prizes Manager

“As part of our plans for Neurodiversity Celebration Week 2024, we were delighted to welcome Katy to our network group meeting to share the IET’s work and commitments to neurodiversity and EDI in general.

Katy is a fantastic speaker. Her presentation was full of knowledge, energy, and a clear passion for the subjects. As a neurodiversity network, we took away some great insights and advice that we immediately found useful, and we also received ideas for developing neuro-inclusion practices at Hoare Lea.

We look forward to staying in touch with Katy and welcoming her back for future updates and guidance.”
