Trudy served as consultant Head HR and Organisational Development at Astrea Multi-Academy Trust for a 6-months period. During that time we worked very closely on a number of transformational projects, with long term legacy benefit to this large MAT of 27 schools spread across South Yorkshire and Cambridgeshire. Her innovative and well-informed work ensured the successful restructure of a large team, adept management of significant resources, refinement to recruitment practices, handling of a high case load plus myriad policy and People Strategy development. I could not have asked for a more dedicated, professional team player who was committed to the Trust.
