“Quite frankly Jane is brilliant. You can throw absolutely anything at her, and she catches it with confidence and an inner calm. She is not fazed by anything and actually relishes a challenge. She has a natural ability teamed with years of experience to digest information quickly, filter through the facts and provide a clear and sound plan with thoughtful and actionable recommendations. It’s rare to find someone with a strategic and creative mind, but Jane is lucky enough to have both, which she uses to great effect in all her business guises.
Her interpersonal skills are second to none, she literally has the ability to talk to anyone. She makes everyone around her feel comfortable and included which makes for a great leader. Completion is Jane’s game. She likes to get things done, in the right, uncomplicated, properly resourced and fun way. Her attention to detail is astounding and teamed with her passion and drive she is by far the most capable, intelligent person I have ever worked with. She’s an absolute gem.”
— Larissa Le Sage De Fontenay, Managing Director, Believe Eve
"If I could have just one wish, it would be to have Jane leading the charge on every project I work on! Her strategic mind, attention to the small things and artful diplomacy make her a leadership powerhouse. Advocating for the user while championing feasibility, business value and creative needs is a one-in-a-million combination - and Jane has it."
— Clementine Brown, Principal Product Designer, Red Badger
"Jane is great at what she does. She will immerse herself in your brand and help you take it to where you want it to be and often, beyond that. She’s organised, driven and always has your brands’ best intentions at the forefront of her mind."
— Chris Derrer, Managing Director, SuperDigital
"Over the past year Gritchie Brewing Company have called on the services of Trew & Trew to help with a range of brand and marketing requirements. Jane has helped the brewery to create a strong brand position and portfolio that is relevant for the UK beer market. Since working with them, we have developed an over-arching brand identity, a portfolio of 7 beers, and a suite of POS to support the brand in outlets.
I would recommend Jane and Trew & Trew to all businesses looking for support with any brand and marketing requirements for their products. In particular the project management work that Jane has carried out to help us launch our first packaged product has been excellent. She has driven the project from start to finish with excellent communication, liaison with suppliers, problem solving and budget management."
— Jordan Mace, Sales & Commercial Director, Gritchie Brewing Company
"Larissa and Jane have been contributing to the development of the women’s watch industry in the UK since the launch of the Eve’s Watch website. Now, they once again have brought attention to women’s watches with the launch of the Eve’s Watch Awards that had the support of such high calibre judges. We feel privileged to have won the Collector’s Choice category this year and we look forward to seeing what the next project for this powerful duo will be."
— Mark Hearn Managing Director, Patek Philippe UK
"Eve’s Watch really stands out in the male-dominated world of watches. Not only is it the only publication in the world that is speaking directly to women, but it does so with a wit and specialist knowledge rarely seen in general women’s interest magazine. It is great to have a publication like this as a resource, just as more and more women are taking an interest in what they wear on their wrist. There’s nothing like Eve’s Watch around and I’m so pleased it exists now."
— Emelie De Vitis Marketing Director, TAG Heuer
"Eve’s Watch Awards host prestigious industry experts, who meet to view the latest women collections of exquisite timepieces for a dynamic exchange of opinion and ideas. They are unmissable."
— Vincent Reynes, Managing Director, Bulgari UK
"Witnessing the WiW lunches develop from an intimate gathering into a veritable who’s who of industry leaders, I am delighted to be part of this association. In addition, the success of the inaugural Women’s Watch Awards truly transformed Larissa and Jane’s vision, who have created an institution in the watch world."
— Laura DeCastiglioni. PR Director, Vacheron Constantin UK
"The project was over a year late in being funded and so the key stakeholders were initially very resistant. Jane was able to work with the stakeholders, get them on board and got buy-in to the recommended approach in a business case. She produced all the outputs to a very high quality. As a very busy Programme Manager I was delighted that she was able to just ‘get on and do it’, knowing that she would alert me where necessary. I enjoyed working with Jane, she is an incredibly positive person to work with."
— Becky Todd, Programme Manager, Houses of Parliament (Project Board Member)
"Jane headed up a project team charged with delivering a revised package of financial arrangements and guidelines between the House of Commons and a number of independent bodies funded by the House. The project was delivered to specification and to deadline. This was very much due to Jane’s project training, leadership and commitment. I am very happy to commend the work done and the personal contribution made by Jane. I am confident that the successful outcome owed a great deal to her personally."
— Crispin Poyser, Principal Clerk, House of Commons (Project Board Member)
"I have worked with Jane on a couple of projects. I have always found her to be enthusiastic and eager to understand the full picture and wider risks of her projects. She has bought a well thought through systematic discipline to the projects, keeping the Board and individual members to the task and ensuring delivery. She has strong inter-personal skills, developing constructive and friendly relationships with colleagues, and has remained calm when under pressure, where she has maintained the integrity of her role."
— Paul Dillon-Robinson, Director of Internal Audit, House of Commons (Project Board Member)
