"Habitat for Humanity Central Region called on Letitia to cover our board secretary role, at short notice and over a period of six months. Letitia quickly established the needs of board and management, and approached minute taking and reporting with a respectful level of professionalism, mixing easily with all people. She is savvy with technology and systems, and we also recommend her as being extremely trustworthy, prompt and communicative. Letitia helped to re-set the bar of quality for our governance administration, which we are thankful for, and we’d certainly call on her again if the situation arose."

"Letitia, thank you for all the support you have given Coastguard New Zealand this year. You jumped in at our moment of need and you have been a champion. I have greatly appreciated your expertise, the accuracy and timeliness of your service and your willingness to adapt to our changing needs. It has been a pleasure to work with you and I can't recommend you highly enough."

“Your service worked for us as a client due to the level of flexibility and availability that you offered. Being able to slot in when needed was a massive help. This really added value to the service, knowing that you had other clients and work and yet could still offer a tailored service for Council. It was easy doing business with you, mainly through email and meetings, you respond promptly and what I particularly liked was that if you had a query or hadn’t received information that you needed, you would raise this in a polite and timely manner. I also think that you have a good manner with people, and stepping in to the role here requires interacting at all levels in Council and I felt confident in your ability to do this. I would recommend you to others and wish you all the best with your business.”
