She is highly experienced with both the expatriate market and the international education market. Her new website will tell you all about her services.

Holfords of Westonbirt Trust
This recently launched charity, which is completely independent of Westonbirt School, takes care of the historic fabric of the former stately home and gardens owned and occupied by Westonbirt School. The Holfords of Westonbirt Trust and Westonbirt School are two completely different charitable organisations.
Katherine Mansfield Society
This charitable trust was set up to raise awareness of the life and works of Katherine Mansfield, to fund academic scholarships and to ensure Mansfield's work is featured prominently on curricula. The Chair is Dr Gerri Kimber, who chose Westonbirt School for her own daughter, and the Patron is former Children's Laureate Dame Jacqueline Wilson. We are fortunate to be able to include in the Westonbirt Lectures a talk by Dr Kimber entitled "Katherine Mansfield and the Bloomsbury Group".
