Testimonials

Gill has made a significant contribution in helping trustees and staff of LionHeart, an occupational benevolent fund for RICS members, to review their marketing strategy as part of a wider strategic review of the organisation, and in planning and implementing a marketing strategy designed to raise awareness and attract new donors. Her expertise, ability to grasp and analyse the situation, and her common sense approach to finding solutions within an affordable budget is impressive.

Mike Carter, CEO, LionHeart

I am really delighted Gill is on our Board because she makes a difference. Our whole ethos is enabling young people to change their lives for the better, to have future. That is why in all we do, making a difference is crucial. Gill has not been a backseat trustee. She uses her professional skills – of which there are many - to great effect on the Board, in the Committees and on the ground. But she doesn’t stop there – she gets involved. Whether it is helping fundraisers to think through new products, running marathons, manning stands at Chelsea Flower show, whatever, we can always rely on Gill to be helpful and supportive, positive, challenging but constructive. That's why we are delighted she is on our side.

Seyi Obakin, Chief Executive, Centrepoint

Every Head of Fundraising needs a strong advocate on their board to support fundraising and marketing activities and that is just what Gill does as Trustee for Centrepoint. Gill is a constant source of ideas and inspiration and has a great network across the sector that helps to expand our influence and impact. Gill is always thinking about how her knowledge, skills and contacts can benefit Centrepoint - and she still finds the time to run marathons for us too!

John Raynham, Head of Fundraising, Centrepoint

Gill Gibb is a key member of Centrepoint's Board and Finance and Audit Committee. She brings with her a wealth of experience and adds value to every meeting. Gill is perceptive, she identifies and isolates the key issues. She always challenges but in a constructive way and follows this with advice and support.

Karen Gibson, Finance Director, Centrepoint

Gill and I worked together at CAF. My Research team and her Innovation team worked together closely. Gill has a profound and intuitive feel for the mechanics of the charity sector, a rare ability to determine where real opportunities lie, and a unique ability to blend these two.

Richard Harrison, Charities Aid Foundation

Gill was a highly respected Director at CAF, providing inspirational leadership to her team through a combination of her unsurpassed enthusiasm and wise counsel. Unafraid of difficult decision making or effecting change strategies she has the ability and vision to readily grasp and develop new and emerging concepts. I personally valued highly the support she provided which enabled innovative propositions to successfully reach fruition which otherwise would never have reached the third sector marketplace.

Ron Green, Charities Aid Foundation

Gill was the sort of boss who encouraged you to step out of your comfort zone and stretched you to be the best you could possibly be. Gill was very supportive and I am very grateful for the instrumental role she had in my career as I wouldn't have got the role of regional manager if she hadn't challenged me to apply for it.

Sue Barker, HBOS

Gill is a really talented strategic thinker. I've never worked with anyone who was quicker to grasp the numbers and develop a clear view of required action. She's a great motivator of people and empowers those around her to deliver high quality results.

Mark Barwick, HBOS

I found Gill to be an inspirational and imaginative leader. We developed and delivered a number of initiatives which others would not have had the courage or innovation to attempt. We also had fun along the way, and I still benefit from many of the lessons, techniques and experiences I had whilst working with Gill.
