I run The Savvy Partnership, a marketing agency providing outsourced marketing support to a variety of different types of clients - from the very big multi-national to the small family owned firm. I\'ve been a partner for 3 years but prior to this I spent over 15 years working client side as a Marketer for a variety of big blue chip financial and professional services brands in London. What we do at Savvy, is to provide help to companies who either don\'t have a marketing department and we become their \'outsourced\' department or clients who just want some support on a one off project. Based in Castlefield Manchester, at Savvy we\'re extremely straightforward, honest and fair. No smoke and mirrors here. At Savvy we work with a wide range of clients and having a long personal history of being a client myself, I have a great understanding of what a client expects from an agency, the decision making process they will be going through and all the other factors that have to be considered when buying in marketing support. Outside of Savvy, I\'m a fully qualified Green Badge Tour Guide for Manchester a hobby/job I simply love! Passionate about the arts I\'m a keen supporter of the Halle, Cameratta and the great theatre companies at The Library and Royal Exchange Theatres. Manchester beats London any day of the week!

Fed up with bad 'Fake' tans I set out on a journey to create my own.

Puritan was developed and released in 2008 and has since become a firm celebrity favourite and growing strength to strength. We supply our solutions to professionals who ensure a flawless tan is created every time.

I wanted to raise the profile of good tans, that look realistic and also to teach therapists how a great tan with specific application can make you look up to 10lbs lighter, every womans dream!. Puritan is natural with as few ingredients as possible to ensure your skin isn't irritated by harmful products. The skin is left hydrated and gorgeous with a real looking tan.

We are still very much in our infancy, however we hope by the end of 2011 we will be a household name. We work with Film companies, Photographers, Celebrities, Fashion Shows & Dance or Singing competitions and more to create beautiful & perfect tans without the tell tale signs.

Hi ladies, as a qualfied and experienced Counsellor, Hypnotherapist and Life Coach, I help people change their lives for the better by learning how to take control of their thoughts and emotions, think and feel positively, and focus on what they want rather than what they don\'t want, in order to create the lives they want to live.

I use a combination of Life Coaching, Psychotherapy, Hypnotherapy, NLP and EFT, depending on the individual needs of my clients and work with the person rather than the issue to create a personalised plan of action to create fast effective results.

I can help you with weight loss/management, confidence, self esteem, stress, anxiety, phobias, smoking cessation, sports performance, childbirth, motivation & much more.

I also facilitate corporate workshops on topics including Stress Management and Positive Thinking to help companies encourage employee health and wellbeing, reduce absenteeism and increase company loyalty.
