Arron Taylor Pareto Law "Having known Dawn for a number of years on a personal basis, I have always been impressed by her wide and varied business acumen. Witnessing first hand the evolution of Business Consort, the many high profile events her organisation facilitates are always very creative and impressive, capturing the hearts and minds of her audience often in salubrious or exotic surroundings. Being invited to speak at a couple of her events, the calibre and diverse cross section of her network does exactly what it promises – allows business leaders to engage, speak and share ideas/resources ultimately to make their commercial objectives and perhaps challenges a little more palatable/achievable. To this end, I would have no hesitation in recommending Dawn and Business Consort as the North West’s premier networking community." December 1, 2009
