Without Jo’s expertise, we wouldn’t have stood a chance of making any real use of Twitter
“Jo’s Twitter training started with an introduction for two of us who had only the most basic of knowledge. She walked us through it in a very methodical manner and described how our business could use it which was most beneficial and key to the success of the training.

Twitter is a great tool but, without the knowledge Jo provided on how to operate it, one might as well forget it.” Sue Risley – Baileybridge
