Vicky's work is met with much praise and excitement by the board of trustees. We are truly standing out in the market place – going from strength to strength due to Sitting Duck and their innovation and creativity"
Scott Smith, Trustee / Home-Start Havant
"I have worked with Vicky/Sitting Duck ever since I started my career in publishing over 10 years ago. In that time Vicky has always been 100% reliable – she understands briefs (having been in marketing herself), has great attention to detail and always delivers on time. Vicky has designed everything from A5 postcards to 280 page A4 catalogues and each piece is given the appropriate care and attention. I'd recommend Sitting Duck to everyone."
Victoria Goodall, Marketing Director, Hodder Education, Schools and Further Education

she's personable, patient and fun to work with. I use her work regularly and would recommend her unreservedly!"

"Vicky is a very practical designer in every sense of the word – she understands and responds to the real life issues facing marketers; budgets get
squeezed, deadlines become unrealistic, and plans change. She is flexible, practical, and creative; delivering what she's promised, when she's promised it."
Marianne Lightowler, Head of Marketing, Higher Education, OUP
"Since opening in January 2010 I have worked very closely with Sitting Duck to develop our brand. This has been carried forward to all our advertising and marketing materials, which have been produced from very scarce briefs and delivered on time to mostly extremely tight deadlines. Vicky is very personable and always seems to understand what I mean. I would not hesitate to recommend Sitting Duck"
Julie Hardcastle, Owner, Petticoats Lingerie
"Sitting Duck is a key supplier – one can rely completely on Vicky to produce stylish catalogues on time and on budget. Major strengths of Sitting Duck are accuracy with copy and an understanding of the academic publisher's priorities; rare qualities in the design community! I can strongly recommend Sitting Duck"
