“I met Francesca when she came on my content course. The nature of the course means I get to know other businesses in quite a deep level and what became apparent very quickly was that I needed her to help me behind the scenes. She’s now become my admin/organisation fairy godmother! All the ‘stuff’ that was taking me far too long is now in Francesca’s hands and I feel like I can really focus on the things I love most now. Perhaps most importantly of all though, I completely trust her. It’s never a case of just handing things over. We’ll talk, she’ll come up with ideas, we’ll work through what’s needed together. That’s means I’m always 100% confident that we’re doing the right things. If you need someone in your corner, who will go the extra mile to help you get to where you need to go, look no further than Francesca. She truly is amazing and I’m so glad I found her!”
– Emma Venables, Copywriter and Content Trainer, The Content Expert
“I had the pleasure of working with Francesca on several tradeshows during her time at Alere/Abbott. Her attention to detail, ability to multi-task and drive for perfection ensured our events ran like clockwork. When challenges presented themselves, her sense of humour, aptitude for problem solving and negotiation skills, always resulted in a great outcome. Francesca gets the job done professionally with a smile on her face and makes everyone part of the team. I have fond memories of our time working together and know her clients are in safe hands.”
– Helen O’Halloran, Digital Insights & Growth Manager, Abbott
“I worked with Francesca at Alere/Abbott where she led Global Events and I was in Marketing Communications. We worked together on several tradeshows and I cannot praise her enough for her expertise and organisation. Nothing was ever too big for Fran to handle – and she always carried herself professionally with a huge smile and go-getter attitude. Not to mention her fabulous sense of humour and attention to everyone’s needs and input. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Fran and would highly recommend her to anyone considering LEAP Services.”
– Allison Kafka, Product Marketing Manager at HealthEdge
“Francesca is not someone who just “does her job”. She genuinely cares about people and will do whatever it takes to make you happy. She has this amazing ability to remember everything you tell her, and will find out about the rest so she can help you best! You can rely on her to know what has to be done and do it with excellence. Not only does she identify and solve problems before they come to you, she will always add the little extra that makes you feel special.”
– Sandrine Le Thomas, Senior Director, Global Digital Marketing, Abbott
“I had the pleasure of working with Francesca for 3 years at Abbott. Her organised, funny and thoughtful manner made her very easy to work with. Her outstanding knowledge of the events industry helped me greatly when optimising our digital campaigns for all things event related.”
– Jonathan Okoro, Marketing Automation Specialist, Abbott
“I worked with Francesca for several years on global events. Her attention to detail, deadlines and client needs is second to none. Always one to get stuck in to get the job done to the best standard. No request or ask is too crazy for Fran and she’ll do it with a smile on her face. She genuinely loves organising and getting things done! Some of my best working memories on-site have been with Fran, she’s a true gem and I’m so glad she has found her true calling in setting up LEAP Services.”
– Nicola Whiston, Account Manager, Ashfield Healthcare part of UDG Healthcare plc
“Francesca and I worked together for several years through periods of significant organisational change. I did creative while Francesca managed events, and during this time she never missed an opportunity to let me know how much she valued my opinions and contributions – meanwhile choreographing a complex and continuous global events ballet, which she made entirely invisible when she wasn’t making it look like so much fun.
Francesca is as attentive and empathetic as she is keen and effective. She’s a teacher, a problem-solver and a leader, and I truly hope that the opportunity to work with her comes again”
– Kristoff Krowchenko, Brand Designer at Orbia
“I’ve worked with Francesca some years and she was always so helpful for the business, pro-active and solution thinker in any situation. It was so easy to work with her and everybody in my team enjoyed the congresses managed by her as always perfect. I recommend fully Francesca.”
– Ludovic Bal, Sales & Operation Director OuS Point of Care Connectivity, Abbott
“I’ve worked with Francesca for several years on many international trade shows for Alere. It has always been a pleasure doing business with her; everything is clear and everyone is always well taken care of! Her sense of detail, her efficiency, capacity to multitask, elephant brain and ability to manage people has always impressed me. I also appreciate her honest and direct way of communication. Most importantly, her sense of humour and caring nature always made work just much more fun enjoyable :)”
– Sylvie Luyckx, Project Manager at The Oval Office – Live Communication
“After working with Fran or a number of years on many international events, it is my option that she is the best of the best when it comes to organisation, farsightedness and just getting the job done ensuring every event holds great memories. She has a super human mind like an encyclopedia when it comes to remembering names, places, restaurants and dates instantaneously with no effort making everyone feel confident and well looked after from morning until the last meal at night. I find her positive, witty, approachable, empathetic and fun to be around. Why wouldn’t you book Fran for your events whether professional or personal?”
– Nichola Allebone, Partner at Task Force 2
“Francesca is quite honestly a life saver in terms of how I manage my non-work life admin. She turns around the most random of tasks quickly and professionally, can always find someone who can get a job done, and makes my life a whole lot easier! Would highly recommend”
– Katie Morgan, Director of Interventions at London CRC
“In 2016 we got married in Lake Garda, Italy. Francesca was fantastic, she helped with organising the venue, kept everything under control on the day, was able to negotiate with the owner to get the best price possible and made sure that as the bride and groom we didn’t have anything to worry about. She ensured that the pictures taken were on point, straightened and fluffed my dress so it was at its best and was an absolute pleasure to have on hand. We know that without Francesca we would have been worrying about different aspects of the day, but Francesca was there to keep us relaxed and allowed us to have the perfect day…even with a lovely storm to round the day off! Thank you for everything you did Francesca!”
– Sara Darlow, Commercial Analyst at Network Rail
“To any & all, As a live marketing professional from an agency with global reach I have had the opportunity to manage activations for numerous global brands in many countries with event planners of all skill levels. Few brought as strong of a professional knowledge base, skill set and positive attitude to their activations as Francesca. And fewer still brought so much delight to the process of collaborating fueled by their positive and energetic approach to life. Francesca was simply a pure delight to work with and her departure to seek new horizons was truly a sad day for myself and everyone on my team. But given her infectious personality one can only wish her the best in whatever she chooses to pursue. With the full knowledge that her people and professional skills will assure her a success and a positive contribute. My strongest of recommendation to anyone on either side of the brand agency equation would be to engage with her. Your event will surely be better because of her and you will have one of the most enjoyable project executions you are ever likely to have. Miss our working (and laughing) together very much.”
– Alan Cordial, Sr.VP Account Development, MC2
“Francesca is a highly skilled professional within the event- and exhibition business. She was my client for some years, and the cooperation was professional, uncomplicated and without any problems. I can recommend her to any company that wants professional help within these industries”.
– Trond Witzøe, Head of Sales, Design & Project Management, BWS Scandinavia
“I worked with Francesca for 3 years where she managed the Abbott Trade Show Program with ease and style. Although she made it seem easy, it was evident that she spent countless hours behind the scene, making sure every detail was accounted for. Francesca has excellent organize and project management skills which resulted in a successful event time after time. Francesca is a true professional and remarkable human being that makes the planning process fun, removes any worry and always results in success!”
– Kathy Lundeen, Account Director, MC2
