I’m only saying this because Sarah has promised me she’ll always have time for Forgaard Agency, but if you need extra resource that brings oodles of common sense, bags of creativity, incredible organisational skills, a can-do attitude and is always happy, look no further
I recommend Sarah without reservation - but don’t think you’re going to get her full time!
