I have worked with Penny for more than 10 years now culminating in her last role as Head of Promotions for Leonardo UK. Her support with the Comms-side of business to the Electronics division has been nothing short of outstanding especially during the last extremely challenging 18 months as we transitioned from the normal face-to-face environment through to virtual only and now hybrid events. Our continued success in the marketing sector has been without doubt significantly enhanced through Penny’s efforts.
Thank you very much for a fantastic event and for making women and their advancement a center piece of the WDS.
It was wonderful to meet so many truly gifted women! The line up of speakers was astonishing, especially given commitments elsewhere on IWD!
At the recent Combined Naval Event conference and exhibition, Penny demonstrated outstanding organizational and leadership skills. She has the ability to remain calm, even under pressure, and to make people feel at ease and welcome. Great host, with an eye for detail.

I absolutely loved working with Penny. It is fantastic to work with someone that is both professional and creative. A consummate professional with real vision to help realise marketing ideas into real scenarios. Such a fantastic person to deal with and being from the sales and marketing community
Penny is a great communicator and an excellent colleague. She brings experience, enthusiasm and a sharp focus on delivery to the benefit of all those around her.
Penny is a brilliant colleague and a brilliant human. We organised so many shows and events together and she is capable, diligent, fast, thoughtful, straightforward, smart and unfazed when circumstances change. I would recommend her unreservedly, trust her unreservedly and know that if I called her for help she would be right there.
I’d like to take this opportunity to recommend Penny, whom I’ve known for many years now. Working alongside Penny, her communication skills,competence and networking skills are to be admired. Penny initiated an informal comms group for industry leaders during lockdown which was and still is very beneficial, enabling me and I’m sure others to feel inclusive even though apart. I value Penny’s drive, enthusiasm, knowledge, skills set, opinions and I learn from each time we speak. I value our friendship so thank you Penny.
My sincere thanks to Penny McPherson who is helping to drive forward our Marketing& Engagement plans
