Donna Hubbard, Business Link North London
"I wanted to send you a quick email to say thank you for investing your time and effort in Chairing the [Marketing Week Innovation Summit 2007] conference last week. I thought you chaired the two days in a manner that was informative, charismatic and extremely open and honest, and as such you were very well-received by both delegates and speakers. And thank you for managing the conference timing so well, and keeping us on track throughout the two days."

Delegate Feedback - Marketing Week Innovation Summit
"Many thanks for kindly coming to Dunkeld. Your talk was excellent and I got a lot of positive feedback thereafter. The way you came across and your straightforward approach is exactly what I wanted for the conference. You are as I have already stated a very real person who says it as they see it and that to me is a great credit to you bearing in mind some of the things you have been through. Good luck Rachel, and once again many thanks for attending our conference."
Patrick Machray, Chief Executive, Johnston Carmichael
"Just a brief note to thank you ever so much for your assistance at the Conference. I am extremely grateful to you for the part that you played in making the Conference this year such a success. Once again, thank you for agreeing to appear and for doing such a fantastic job!"
The Rt Hon Francis Maude MP
Chairman of the Conservative Party
"Yesterday was truly wonderful! I am seldom so caught up. Usually one looks at the sheaf of papers held in the presenter's hands and calculates, often with slight weariness, how long it is going to take to deliver. With you it was the complete reverse - I would have been delighted if you'd produced another sheaf with a grand flourish!!
Everyone, without exception, felt the same. Each person felt your charm and honesty, and those who have attended many business presentations said how excellent and special was yours.
Thank you for coming. With very best wishes"
Jo James, Head of Development, University of Derby
"Please can you pass my huge thanks to Rachel for the event yesterday.
I spoke to my client and they said it was a fantastic day and night, and Rachel was great.
Thanks again for all your help.
Kind Regards"

"When Rachel Elnaugh agreed to speak at our Women's' Network event we were delighted. A true professional, Rachel honoured her commitment to us despite the sad failure of her Red Letter Days business venture. She was open and honest in her address, offering a wealth of sound business advice based on experience. A truly inspirational speaker eliciting rave revues from all the delegates. We would heartily recommend her as a speaker."
Mary Pearson - Membership and Events Manager,
Derbyshire Chamber and Business Link
"Rachel's presentation covered all the bases, not only talking about the highs and lows of Red Letter Days, but also giving an insight into business leadership and a very honest account of her personal experiences and philosophy. We knew it would be good, and it was very, very good."
Rebecca Fay - Regional Marketing Director, UKI for Factiva®,
a Dow Jones and Reuters Company
