Amanda has been great to work with. What started as a small copy writing exercise has morphed into a strategic look at our business and marketing strategy. I am very happy with the work she has done. She has communicated brilliantly throughout and has been thorough and efficient. I look forward to working with her more in the future.

La Fabrica de Bomas
The original contract brief was to increase the occupancy of a collection of holiday lets at La Fabrica de Bombas near the Andalucian village of Jimena de la Frontera.
Key areas of activity:
• Business analysis
• Development and implementation of sales strategy
• Design and development of the company website
• Property and letting management.
As a result of this activity, business turnover was raised by 100% and I ensured over 80% occupancy. The client has subsequently contracted me to continue to manage the business sales and development.

We were very impressed with the professional way Amanda carried out all aspects of the project. She exceeded all our expectations, turning our small business into a profitable one in a short period of time. We continue to work with Amanda and would not hesitate in recommending her services to others.
