Albright Special was set up by Rachel Clarke in 2015. She works with cross-sector teams of experts - bringing together the worlds of business, brands, charity, culture, education and local government as each project requires.
"Whether in support of sponsorships or corporate responsibility, one of Rachel’s strengths is to combine her strategic perspective with facilitation skills that engage, balance different viewpoints and build constructive debate to drive better outcomes across workshops and broader stakeholder management. She understands the multiple demands of major corporates, is highly experienced and, importantly, brings a professional warmth that creates positive and lasting working relationships."
