Corporate Page Sarah Pennells - Personal Finance Journalist and Author
Sarah has acted as a panelist, chaired conferences, presented DVDs and facilitated a strategy day for a major financial company on women's financial needs.
The Chief Executive said: "Sarah's experience and research gave us an extremely valuable insight into the financial needs of women and helped us to identify new ways to give our customers better service. Her expert and independent view made us take a fresh look at what women want from financial services and has kick-started our plans and actions in this area."
Recently, Sarah chaired a discussion on environmental perspectives on the credit crisis for the Ecology Building Society and has been booked to chair a major event on women and money in the autumn.
Sarah received this testimonial from the Ecology Building Society: "Sarah's knowledge of both the finance industry and environmental issues was ideal to engage with our audience and her experience ensured a smoothly run yet lively debate."
Sarah has a relaxed and friendly style with delegates, but is confident introducing high profile speakers and - importantly - is adept at making sure conferences run to time.
She is known as an expert on property issues and has chaired the Association of Residential Managing Agents' conference for five of the eleven years that the event has run. Sarah also presented a DVD aimed at explaining how leaseholders can set up a company to manage their block of flats.
Sarah also has expertise in credit and debt and she chaired a breakfast fringe meeting at the Liberal Democrats' conference, organised by Citizens Advice, where the theme of the discussion was 'Over-Indebted Britain'.
Sarah can:
- Chair and moderate conferences in a relaxed yet professional manner
- Lead debates and panel discussions
- Present corporate DVDs and web films
