"I really can`t say enough wonderful things about Lesley. Lesley worked tirelessly with me on every aspect of this 2009 event. From the hotel, to the off-site venues, to giveaways, transportation, she is so knowledgeable, friendly and professional - I won`t come back to London without her by my side. Lesley, thank you so much for an incredible job well done! Bottom line, Lesley made this event. I truly owe her for making it a huge success. Thanks again!"

" Lesley has consistently and successfully delivered for me over the last number of years. Her knowledge of the industry is second to none, and her approach in ensuring the highest quality of end product is a testament to the personal commitment and professionalism she brings to any project. Lesley is a joy to work with; adaptable and flexible, but driven - never losing sight of the end goal. More than capable of planning and achieving the strategic aims of any project, but equally not afraid to roll up her sleeves and get stuck in when needed."

"In my capacity as General Manager of Ten Square Hotel, Belfast, I have known Lesley since 2003. During that time I have had nothing but admiration for her professionalism, management skills, attention to detail, understanding of the tourism product in Belfast and her commitment to working with partners to develop both Belfast City and Northern Ireland as a tourism destination. I also sat on the Board of the Belfast Visitor & Convention Bureau with Lesley (2005/07) and was impressed with her in-depth knowledge of not only destination marketing but the greater industry as a whole.

In my capacity as Chairman of the Northern Ireland Branch of the Institute of Hospitality (2007/09) I also had the pleasure of working with Lesley as a service provider. Each year we organise the prestigious Janus Awards for Professionalism and it was a pleasure working alongside Lesley in the delivery of this event.

In a City with many talented individuals, Lesley Maltman stands out from the crowd and her reputation as a leader nationally and internationally is well deserved."
