Founder HBMC

“Hilary worked with the Black Health Agency supporting the organisation through major strategic change, moving it from a small community organisation into a strategic player within health and social care.”  Evelyn Asante-Mensah OBE, Commissioner at Equality and Human Rights Commission

 

"HBRL were a tonic for the William Morris Society. They conducted a thorough Organisational and Governance Review which the Society Executive have (largely) accepted. In doing so they challenged us to think about what we do, why and how effective we are and proposed credible solutions to some of the challenges we face. I think their work will be seen as a turning point in how the Society manages itself as we move forward." 

Martin Stott, Chair of Trustees, William Morris Society
