True North resources connecting learning with the real world
  • “Working with Ruth is a genuine pleasure. She brings a rare combination of warmth, clarity and strategic thinking to every interaction, making her an exceptional collaborator and a natural leader. She is organised, proactive and always tuned in to the needs of the team. Her ability to lead with empathy while keeping sight of the bigger picture is a real strength.”

    — Olly Bartlett, Associate Director – Operational Excellence
  • “I’ve worked closely with Ruth for five years, and she still manages to impress me every day. Her ability to get ahead of what everyone else is thinking is remarkable. I’ve lost count of the times we’ve identified something that needs doing and Ruth has already done it. Without her clear and detailed project planning, many initiatives would still be on the drawing board.”

    — Lucy Wooldridge, Operational Hub Lead, Careers Hub Cornwall
  • “Ruth’s creativity with resources and generosity in sharing them and making them adaptable for others to use is wonderful. Her knowledge is excellent, and her insightful questioning of leaders leads to valuable conversations and problem-solving. It is a pleasure to know Ruth and to have the opportunity to work alongside her.”

    — Jennie Cole, Operational Hub Lead
