Aneela worked with us on our Rider2Leader pilot programmes where we looked to encourage and build confidence in women aspiring to take on the very exciting challenge of mountain bike leadership in a field where women are underrepresented. With two very different audiences and only a short time to gauge them, she was able to tailor her workshops beautifully with a lovely combination of enthusiasm and honesty which can only be achieved by someone with considerable knowledge and understanding in her subject areas. I’ve continued to work with Aneela to increase diversity and inclusion within mountain bike leadership; she checks, challenges and motivates me every time.

Working with Aneela was a great collaborative experience. She imparted her knowledge in an engaging and honest way that felt accessible and was inspiring rather than intimidating. She combines years of senior professional experience in the equality and diversity sector with a breadth of personal experience. It is clear from her own actions and achievements that she delivers and facilitates real change, and her advice to us was focussed on deliverable and achievable goals rather than just talk or policies without effect.

I would especially recommend Aneela to any organisation that wants its people to be inspired to improve. She will make you believe that change is possible and that you can be part of the solution. Hannah Dobson, Editorial Manager

Aneela worked closely with us on the development of a new diversity and inclusion champion role. She expertly produced a toolkit and delivered an insightful workshop in an accessible way to our affiliates.She's a pleasure to work with; the feedback from our membership has been exceptionally positive and we look forward to working with Aneela again. Alex Cuppleditch, Head of Volunteering

Aneela has been indispensable in our process of setting up as a charity. She's brought experience, insight, and empathy to our meetings - dare I say she's made the process quite painless! We would've been much further behind without her assistance - thanks to her professionalism we got set up and formalised our structure in less than a year's time.

We chose Aneela to deliver a keynote at our conference because we wanted a presentation that would both challenge and inspire our audience. This is a difficult combination to achieve but Aneela’s force of personality and passion combined with an in-depth knowledge of the subject, mountain biking and diversity, meant that it was a highlight of the conference. We know that several delegates have considered and changed their organisational policies or procedures as a result of her presentation.

Aneela has spoken eloquently and engagingly about diversity and inclusion, with a focus on cycling and the outdoor adventure world, both on IGTV and a Spindrift Podcast episode that I host. Not only did the audience learn a lot from both and enjoy them greatly, but I also learned a lot, and she’s been an invaluable source of information and guidance, helping me to ensure my future work is.
