I work with a wide range of charitable organisations, including NGOs, think tanks and funders. My particular area of expertise is on refugee and migration issues, in the UK and internationally.

What people say about me

  • “There is no doubting Ruth’s substantial expertise and skill. But what sets her apart from many other consultants is her ability to make working together a real joy.

    She’s highly capable, and a great sounding board. She offers forensic but kind challenge to those she works with, and gets stuff done!

    Paul Morrish, CEO, LandAid

  • "Ruth was an absolute pleasure to work with; insightful, dedicated, professional and passionate.

    I could honestly have not asked for anything more from a consultant and just hope to be able to work with her again!”

    Karen Bowers, CEO, Bristol Law Centre

  • “I would highly commend the obvious quality, thoroughness and sheer energy of Ruth’s work.

    She exhibited astute expertise in both the design and delivery of an external evaluation of our impact and implementation of our first five-year strategic plan. Ruth was consistently diligent and responsive in all aspects of her work.

    I would highly recommend Ruth and would be very happy to use her consultancy services again”.

    Chris Nash, CEO, European Network on Statelessness

  • "A joy to work with. I cannot recommend Ruth highly enough.

    Ruth was highly professional, organised and able to engage with a wide range of stakeholders. Her people skills and energy led to an enthusiasm and a genuine desire across a range of partners to work collaboratively.

    Ruth not only knows her subject matter, but cares deeply about it. The reports she produced were excellent - succinct, structured and well presented.”.

    Jane Basham, CEO, Norfolk Community Law Service

  • “Ruth delivered an excellent report for Migration Exchange which helped to develop our funding strategy in this area.

    She writes well, is very clear and thorough in her thinking, and is extremely reliable. She has a wide and deep knowledge of migration policy issues and the wider social and political context, as well as a good grasp of the challenges and strengths of the third sector”.

    Sarah Cutler, Director, Migration Exchange funder network

  • "I can thoroughly recommend Ruth as a highly skilled and conscientious evaluator.

    We asked Ruth to co-facilitate a strategic review of our organisation. Ruth was an excellent facilitator, quickly gaining the confidence of the people involved.

    She demonstrated an excellent grasp of the issues, while at the same time maintaining a clear and objective organisational overview. She supported us to develop new areas of work using the limited resources we have available. The final report of the review was clearly written and well received by all stakeholders.”
