Mandeville

New Zealand Cold Storage Association (NZCSA)

Working with the Mandeville team has been a game-changer for the NZ Cold Storage Association. In their first six months with our organisation, they grew our member revenue by 60% and doubled our conference exhibition sales! Our annual profit last year was three times more than the previous year.

They turned 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.

Customs Brokers & Freight Forwarders Federation (CBAFF)

Thank you for everything you've done so far in helping us bring the CBAFF 2026 Conference together.

From day one, you've been incredibly organised, responsive, and easy to work with. The weekly meeting with Council has keep everything on track. Nothing has been too much trouble, and your support has made what could be a very stressful process feel enjoyable.

As we celebrate 30 years of CBAFF, this conference means a lot to us, and it's been great having a team alongside us who genuinely cares about getting the best outcome.

Thank you for being such fantastic partners. We really appreciate everything you do, and we're looking forward to delivering an amazing conference together.

Intelligent Transportation Systems New Zealand Association (ITS NZ)

The Mandeville team continues to exceed our expectations. They have provided outstanding project management and secretariat support to our Board and the 2027 ITS Asia-Pacific Forum planning committees.

Rose’s efficient meeting management, comprehensive minutes, action lists and follow-up have kept multiple committees aligned, accountable and progressing against tight timelines, giving everyone confidence that nothing is being overlooked.

Our recent conference (T-Tech 2026) achieved a record number of delegates, and Brittany doubled our sponsorship revenue. The event was exceptionally well organised and the board got overwhelmingly positive feedback from attendees.

Interconnected magazine, Issue #1

I just wanted to say WOW WOW WOW to the new eMHIC magazine - Interconnected - what an amazing product of the eMHIC digital mental health community and movement.

I was just blown away by the magazine, the light hearted and accessible production, and the amazing content. Congratulations!

World Congress on Medical & Health Informatics, ICC Sydney 2023

Can I just say that you'd be losing money if you don't put Kim in charge of your event!

In early 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 16 weeks away and 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.

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.

NZ Game Developers Conference, Wellington, September 2025

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

eMHIC Congress 2025, Toronto, Canada

You put on the most organized event I have ever been to. The attention to detail, great food options, and operational flow was incredible. To see an event of this size run with such a small but effective team is nothing short of amazing.

Leadership Training courses for managers at the Reserve Bank of NZ, 2018-2021

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.

Finance manager perspective

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.
