References & Testimonials
Here's some feedback from clients, students, and colleagues I've loved working with over the past year
"Ally is a rare breed - she is an extremely talented and imaginative content creator yet is incredibly low maintenance! Superbly efficient and professional, she is also sweet-natured, patient, kind and nurturing - a dream to work alongside. She brings energy, flair and a sense of fun to any project and has fantastic communication and problem-solving skills. She is very much a people-person while also possessing excellent technical skills across all areas of video production. I would not hesitate to recommend her."
- Lindsay Eastwood, Broadcast Journalist & Lecturer
"Ally is a natural communicator, creative, talented, technically skilled, hard-working and 100 percent reliable. Her enthusiasm and professional approach to everything she tackles meant she was equally popular with students and staff. Having spent more than 50 years in the media world I would highly recommend her."
- Mike Best, Former Director of Broadcasting ITV Yorkshire
"I worked with Ally as a colleague on the Film programme at Leeds Trinity University. While there, her role was at the core of our Film programme, empowering students to get to grips with our kit, learn how to work together professionally, and develop their skills as storytellers. Her commitment to staff and student well-being was a driving force of the programme's identity and continues to shape its delivery. It was an absolute pleasure working with her!"
- Robbie McAllister, Head of Film @ Leeds Trinity University
"We hired Ally on various occasions for our production agency. She has been a Runner and Camera Operator. Within both roles she was a pleasure to work with. She took initiative to action help when the project required it. The most recent example is when we were covering an event for our client Omnea, she was able to liaise with all interview participants and make them feel confident and relaxed. You always need an Ally on your team."
- Haris Ahmed, HAYCH Digital
"I had the pleasure of working with Ally during her time at Leeds Trinity University. Ally brings a positive attitude to every project and is always willing to go the extra mile to ensure the project succeeds. Ally creates an environment where students feel comfortable, respected, and encouraged to reach their full potential. Ally genuinely has her students' best interests at heart and consistently goes above and beyond to ensure they feel valued, heard, and supported in their learning journey. Any team or organisation would benefit from Ally's talent, hard work and dedication."
- Laura Jackson, Born in Bradford: Age of Wonder
"Ally has been an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the entirety of our recent filming project, and we would highly recommend Ally for any film production.
Ally spoke with our team to understand the brief and helped us to shape the narrative around a film that we wanted to produce, which focused on three apprentices who had been supporting our work for a 12-month period. With her natural story-telling abilities, Ally was able single-handedly to produce a fantastic film which reflected positively on the Sporting Memories apprentices, their time with us and the project as a whole.
This was made possible thanks to Ally's approachable and warm nature with the apprentices and our Communications team, who were not used to being filmed or interviewed, but were able to provide detailed, considered and meaningful feedback, which eventually led to such a rich range of reflections that featured in the final film.
Since the film has launched, we have received overwhelming positive feedback from partners and friends of Sporting Memories and our plan is to work again with Ally on future film projects."
- Chris Wilkins, MBE, Co-Founder and CEO of Sporting Memories
