Bright Spark helping executives
Jennifer Holloway, who set up the firm in April last year and has worked with Skipton Building Society and The Private Health Partnership, said Spark will turn over 65,000 this year after working on 30 projects with firms in the financial services, fashion and recruitment industries, with all-but-one client at board level.
