What people are saying

“Beth arrived at Capital City Academy a couple of years after I took up my position as one of the Governorship of the school. At the time the school was having the minutes of its Board meetings taken by the schools finance director. It wasn’t until Beth arrived did we really understand the true value of a professional clerk. Quite apart from taking the minutes and presenting them in an orderly fashion, her continual updating of procedures and polices reminded Governors of their roles and responsibilities.  As Chair of Board of Governors I have found Beth‘s contribution to my work at the school invaluable. Beth is always one step ahead of me. Her excellent annotated notes for our Full Governing Body meetings have proved to be essential. They not only help me to keep my meetings to time but leaves sufficient room for open, honest, healthy debate. In fact, there have been occasions when I found Beth to be the most important person in the room.”

“Clerks of London have been at Watling Park since March 2020. Since joining the team she has made a real impact to the running of our board and the team within. They have significantly helped to develop and transform the board by offering advice and guidance on governance procedures and legislation, sign posting me and other members of the board to people or publications that offer expert advice where necessary. They are meticulously organised and really do keep me in check. Beth is always so in tune with the requirements of our board, she often has or knows what we need. Beth's interpersonal and communication skills are fantastic, coupled with her knowledge and experience across a range of governance structures, it is with ease to say, she would be an amazing asset to any board..”

“Clerks of London have been a fantastic support to Hounslow Education Partnership. Working across our numerous primary, secondary and special school partnership meetings, both face to face and online, Beth provides the highest quality service. The attention to detail is exemplary and the turnaround time is second to none - l would recommend them for all your clerking needs.”

“Beth joined as our clerk quite recently. Bringing on a new clerk is always filled with trepidation; finding a good one is no small challenge and a good clerk is hugely valuable to the work of any board.  With regard to Beth, we need not have worried. The transition process has not only been smooth sailing but the results have been fantastic. Beth is diligent, knowledgeable, easy to work with and is quickly becoming a major asset to our Academy.  I have no hesitation in recommending her to others”.
