In my experience this is a rare combination and makes Amy a great team member.

Steve Harris, Manager Customer Experience Improvement


For over ten years I have worked with Amy both in-house and independently and found her to be the classic marketer with a great overview and understanding of a company’s requirements.

On many occasions and for varied clients, I have seen Amy confidently show CEO’s and management a clear route map to deliver a sound and astute marketing strategy. No areas are overlooked, no budgets overspent, Amy is ultra reliable at giving a business what they need and on many occasions what they didn’t realise they need.

She has an in-depth understanding of Customer Experience and Customer Service with a great ability to ’think out of the brand’ and see it from the customer’s perspective, adapting and applying organisational practice that enhances the customer journey and has a positive effect on the bottom line.

Amy has been a fun, engaging and reliable person to work with during her time with the UBM group and the Top 50 organisation. She worked with us from the inaugural year, where she helped us to really understand the value and purpose of the initiative.

Lee Bennington, Inbound Operations Manager


I was a client of Amy’s when she was developing the Top 50 research programme and was impressed from the start with her in-depth grasp of all things "Customer Experience".

Equally impressive was her drive and capacity for delivery on an extremely challenging programme that involved corralling a network of around 100 stakeholders around a research approach that worked for everyone.

Few people have the ability to pull off challenges of that magnitude but Amy not only did, but made it look easy - even enjoyable - at times. I would not hesitate to recommend her.

Adrian Morley, Commercial Manager The Co-Operative Financial Services


Amy is one of the most respected people in the customer service industry having built up an impressive level of experience working with some of the UK’s biggest brands.

Through her work as project director of the Top 50 Amy built excellent relationships with many leading companies and I am quite sure that through her consultancy and support many of these businesses have improved their customer experience processes.

Amy has been at the cutting edge of what good customer service looks like for many years and is one of the first people I would turn to for advice and insight on the subject.

Amy is a real leading light in our industry and is also one of the most fun and passionate people I have ever had the pleasure to work with.

Louida Kyranakis, Manager CRM, Direct Marketing & Call Centre at Toyota Motor Corporation Australia


Over the past decade, I have worked with Amy Scott on a variety of projects including market research and conference production, and have always found the quality of her work first rate.

Most recently she was the Project Director of the Top 50 Companies for Customer Service programme and was instrumental in the success of this market leading initiative. This is largely due to Amy’s extensive understanding of what constitutes an exceptional customer experience and her ability to assist members on how to improve the service they deliver to their customers.

More importantly, Amy always adds value over and above any narrow brief - she not only delivers the content but also recommends on how to best use that content, so that the client can realise maximum strategic and tactical benefit. I have recommended Amy to others within UBM, and they too have been equally delighted with the quality of her work and project management abilities.

Mark Snell, Group Director, UBM Live London


I have worked with Amy for nearly a decade and it has always been an exceptional experience. From ideas to execution, the quality of Amy’s work is second to none.

She was instrumental in much of our NPD over recent years and her commitment, hard work and tenaciousness were major factors in the success of these projects - in particular the Top 50 Companies for Customer Service.

Her great network of contacts provided us with some fantastic speakers over the years and the conferences she produced for us were always fresh....and most importantly, profitable!

I would highly recommend Amy for any project big or small, an idea or a mature product - she’s your woman to drive things forward and make things happen!
