“Brittany is a sales superstar – proactive, engaging, and laser-focused on results. I’m really happy with how she’s representing us and the initiative she’s shown.

Thanks to her work, we're now in conversations with conference sponsors we've never reached before, which is incredibly exciting.

As a small team at NZGDA, having an experienced on-call sales resource we can rely on has been a huge relief. Brittany has brought fresh energy and new momentum to our exhibition plans.”

Joy Keene, Executive Director, NZ Game Developers Association

"Working with the Mandeville team has been a game-changer for the NZ Cold Storage Association. In only six months, they doubled our conference exhibition sales and grew our member revenue by 60%!

They also found time to turn our bi-monthly newsletter into a quality digital magazine that is generating a new revenue stream from advertising and sponsored editorial.

Kim has a rare mix of strategic creativity, financial acumen,, and practical know-how. Her team has delivered far more than we expected in a very short time."

Dion Abrahams, Board Chair, NZCSA

“Can I just say that you'd be losing money if you don't put Kim in charge of your event! In 2023 I was in a desperate situation and needed a conference director for a 2500 person international event.

I called Kim and she literally saved the entire event! We were in a challenging situation, with the event only 16 weeks away and we were months behind schedule. She sorted it out and the event was the most successful international conference that the company had run in its 50-year history.

Kim's a consummate professional, manages people with grace and expertise, and is such a pleasure to work alongside."

Dr Louise Schaper, CEO, Australasian Institute of Digital Health

"Kim brings a combination of operational excellence, creative flair, and strategic thinking to everything she does. At HiNZ, she didn’t just grow our conference — she transformed it from a 250-person event into a world-class gathering of 1,400 delegates and 120 exhibitors, within four years.

She also invented leadership summit discussion groups that were profitable and popular. The print/digital magazine she developed for us quickly became profitable and influential.

Kim is the kind of person you want in your corner if you’re serious about growth, innovation, and making a lasting impact.”

Kylie Williams, COO, Health Informatics New Zealand

“I had the pleasure of participating in training courses facilitated by Kim as well as sending some of my staff to her training and coaching sessions.

Kim is a great coach and facilitator, and is particularly helpful in assisting individuals who are at a crossroad and sorting through their career path, which is often times difficult.

She has a wide ranging career history that she can draw on to provide advice and practical tools to assist an individual in determining the most appropriate way forward. She is personable, pragmatic and asks thought provoking questions. I recommend Kim for coaching, mentoring and facilitation of courses.”

Jazmen Rose, Financial Industry Regulator, Reserve Bank of New Zealand

"Kim is as innovative problem-solver who invents practical solutions and ensures their effective implementation. and team cohesion. I’ve worked with her across many businesses and she consistently has great decision-making skills and is results focused, making her a high impact leader.

Her ability to always be mindful of return-on-investment enables organisations to thrive, which was invaluable during the challenging Covid years. Kim’s commitment and work ethic are unparalleled - she consistently goes above and beyond to ensure successful implementation of strategies and projects."
