Testimonials

“Every business needs contacts – everyone has contacts, but not everyone can leverage them – Lorraine and Carol have contacts by the bucketload and are networkers par excellence!”

Lord Digby Jones

“Carol and Lorraine are two of the best-connected women in the UK. Their rich tapestry of business experience at home and internationally gives them a unique insight into opportunities and challenges. For any business working with them comes a Sir Eric Peacock warning ‘They could seriously enhance your profitability!’…”

Sir Eric Peacock

“I consider Carol Bagnald and Lorraine Ellison two of the most powerful networkers and business strategists in the business. The combination of these two powerhouses is going to be exciting and dynamic for all concerned.”

Lynne Franks OBE

“I have known Lorraine and Carol for many years. Both are extremely well connected and dynamic women. Together they are a force to be reckoned with.”

Dame Kelly Holmes

“I had the absolute pleasure of working with Carol and Lorraine for a number of years. Thanks to them the official launch of the MOBO Movement at the House of Commons in 2015 was a huge success. It turned out to be a landmark year for us made even more special by these two ladies’ significant contribution.”

Kanya King MBE

“Thoroughly enjoyed working with Black on Silver. From the outset, they showed great enthusiasm and professionalism for the tasks we set them. They helped us to consider a range of ideas and ways of moving the business to the next stage… We were thrilled with their input and highly recommend them to others.”
