Testimonials
I’m proud to have worked alongside brilliant people and organisations who care deeply about doing things well. Here’s what they say about working with me:
Eilidh Muir, BA, MCIOF
Fundraising Manager – Universities Federation for Animal Welfare (UFAW)
“I worked with Maralyn on a number of projects in her capacity as Partnerships Manager with Maggie’s. I was always incredibly impressed at her professionalism and tailored, friendly approach when working with our corporate partners — and in particular her ability to negotiate complex relationships within a partnership context.
As a colleague, Maralyn was a constant source of support and always happy to lend a hand outside of her role. She is a natural leader and helped to shape and mould many important relationships for us at Maggie’s.
I truly hope we’ll have the opportunity to work together again in the future and can’t recommend her highly enough.”
Leona Seaton
Assistant Principal – Commercial Growth & Strategy, Dumfries and Galloway College
“Maralyn has been a brilliant partner in every role I’ve worked with her in.
She consistently goes above and beyond to offer a great service. Most recently, we collaborated on service design work for parents experiencing poverty. Maralyn kept in regular contact, delivered against all outcomes and timelines, and kept the college team working to agreed deadlines. She is an absolute professional and thoroughly lovely to work with.”
Tumong Edwards
Community and Events Fundraiser at NHS Lothian Charity
“Working with Maralyn was a joy, she’s a capable, knowledgeable and authentic Partnerships Manager. Maralyn builds rapport very quickly and as a result secures partnerships. She always delivers and follows through, really easy to work with and always there to support you where needed. Her pitching and proposal writing skills are exceptional, I would highly recommend her.”
Lesley Temple
Head of Marketing & Communications, Royal Society for Blind Children
“I first met Maralyn when Corporate Social Responsibility became part of my remit at Barrhead Travel. My aim was to improve staff engagement through charity activity and Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity was one of my first ports of call.
From our first conversation it was clear that Maralyn’s knowledge, understanding and support would help the business to achieve that goal. She was highly engaged, both proactive and responsive dependent upon the situation or query, and was incredibly adaptable. The charity became our Charity of the Year, a partnership which continued for many years afterwards.
I still use the knowledge I gained from Maralyn regarding the charity sector and staff engagement to this day.”
