Testimonials

• Lord Digby Jones …….” 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!”

• Sir Eric Peacock ……. “Carol and Lorraine are two of the best connected women in the UK.

• Kanya King MBE ………”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.”

• Sue Walter, CEO, The Hospital Club…….”we engaged Black on Silver to help us in two key areas; to consolidate our vision and values as well as to inform our strategy as we move forward with international expansion.

Without hesitation we would work with them again.”

Lovely team who we highly recommend.”
