"ADVANCE Sparks was a 10 week course designed to boost creative and entrepreneurial confidence of young people in the Scottish Borders. Otocos delivered key components, especially helping with business planning... this was one of the most useful and effective parts of the programme."

"I went to Wendy with a business idea that I couldn't get started on. I discovered that she has an extraordinary gift for taking a not very detailed plan, fleshing it out and breaking it down into manageable elements. All of a sudden my impossible project became achievable with a sensible plan to follow - and, best of all, no capital layout."

"Wendy is a trusted consultant in the creative sector with an ability to grasp the project but also the wider context and its strategic place. She is able to propose interventions that are strategic, creative and practical. Always on time and to spec delivering value."

"Wendy's remit was to condense a very large amount of complex information about the business and direction of travel into a clear, easy to understand format in a very short time frame. The format and style that Wendy prepared is still being used."

"Wendy undertook an in depth satisfaction survey of tenant companies / organisations based in the Alba Innovation Centre. This involved face-to-face interviews which Wendy conducted in an efficient and friendly manner. She was quick to produce a comprehensive summary of her findings."

"The whole SCI team did an excellent job and your personal contribution in terms of interviewing Judy Murray and keeping everything on track was very impressive."
