What people say

“I absolutely love working with Hana for the Cheltenham Science Festival creative programme and I was thrilled this year when she came on board again as a freelance programmer. Hana has an incredible eye for a creative event, an up to date knowledge of the field and an amazing network of diverse contacts, all of which mean the Cheltenham Science Festival becomes a better festival when Hana is on board.”

— Marieke Navin, Head of Programming, Cheltenham Science Festival

“We have worked with Hana as both an event producer and social media manager for several years. Her brilliant organisational skills, attention to detail and creativity have made her a valued member of the Festival of the Spoken Nerd team. Working with Hana makes our events better for performers and for audience members, and we highly recommend her.”

— Helen Arney, Performer & Producer, Festival of the Spoken Nerd

“Hana came highly recommended to us when we were looking for support for delivery of a high profile Family Day to wrap up hosting the British Science Festival at Warwick. She was highly flexible in fitting us in around other clients at short notice and did a fantastic job. The support she offered my team was invaluable and allowed us to pull off a spectacular day for several thousand happy customers.”
