Over the last three years I have observed and worked very closely with Dorothy on a significant number of occasions with her in the role of actor and with me in the role of business psychologist/assessor. This joint working has taken place in a variety of high profile, high level assessment and development settings primarily in the context of three very well-regarded organisations namely, KPMG, the Department of Health and the telecoms’ giant, T-Mobile. She has a very strong reputation amongst the clients who are happy to give her repeat business. I recommend her to you most strongly.

I have known Dorothy for some six years. During that time she has appeared on many of my courses playing a wide variety of role-plays. These are not just scripts to repeat, but characters with a complicated story that has to stand up to the rigorous questioning that our investigative interview courses demand. On every occasion she has responded in character whilst at the same time being aware and responding to the needs of the students. I have no hesitation in recommending her.

Dorothy has been the primary role-player for a number of our critical selection and development programmes over the past three years. I always make a point of asking for her and I am disappointed when she is unavailable. Dorothy is an extremely professional, adaptable business actor and she responds well to a brief which requires her to be challenging. Typical projects at which she has excelled include selection role plays for highly assertive sales managers and consultants. I have no hesitation in recommending Dorothy as a role player – she is the best I have worked with in sixteen years’ as a business psychologist
