'Groundwork Environmental Business Systems has provided environmental and health & Safety support to businesses across Merseyside & West Cheshire for over ten years, working in particular with European Union and Regional Development Agency grant regimes to provide support to small and medium sized businesses most in need of support. We enlisted Jayne Nation's support when we took the decision to formalise our approach to Quality Assurance through implementation of ISO 9001. Jayne approached this somewhat dry topic in just the right way, her light touch and thoughtful professionalism enabling us to move forward quickly in an area of considerable importance to our business. I would wholeheartedly recommend Jayne to anyone seeking to resolve a specific business problem or plan a strategy for future success.'
Mark Turner, Managing Director, Groundwork EBS, Groundwork UK Wirral
'I've always valued Jayne Nation of Magnolia Consulting for her caring but dispassionate wise words - I'm always impressed by the depth of empathy and constant array of tools she seems to have at her disposal for sorting out a situation, no matter how large or small it is. I look forward to the time I spend in coaching with her and leave each session with a sense of calm, order and purpose. I thoroughly recommend her high performance coaching - it's made a big impact on my life already'.

'Jayne Nation of Magnolia Consulting is a highly motivational leader of projects and people. This attribute was particularly demonstrated when she ran a highly risky new technology project. Through her determination, excellent organisational ability and the unique way that she brings experts of different disciplines together, she co-ordinated and delivered a scientific breakthrough to market, winning the Unilever Innovation Prize. She has the ability to impress everyone with her clear-sighted strategic thinking, making even the most difficult project a success. She delivers the goods within deadlines and tight budget constraints, yet manages to create an inspirational work culture of challenge, fun and sense of purpose. It is a pleasure to work with her.'
