Hanne-Louise is a dedicated Export professional. I worked with Hannah Louise for several years and her knowledge of the Export Market was a great strength to the business.
She was dedicated, honest and an extremely hard worker. It was a pleasure to work with her.
Ian Bryson

Managing Director , Finlays

Hannah-Louise participated as a member of a UK government supported trade visit to South East Asia which I organised and was a fantastic person to have as part of that group.
She represented her company and British industry brilliantly, was generous in sharing her extensive knowledge of international business with less experienced members of the group, and very helpful to me as the mission manager.
She entered into the spirit of this type of visit with enthusiasm and certainly contributed to its success.
Vanessa Bryan

International Partnerships Manager , University of Salford

Hanne was a great colleague and friend in her time at Taylors.
Her unflappable approachable style made problems seem small and opportunities worth fighting for.
She has an easy going logic and passion for what she does that delivers great results and makes working with her a joy.

Carol Wilson

Fod & Drink Export Consultant/, Women in Business Champion

I’ve worked with Hanne for many years now starting with Bettys and Taylors, then Optimum Export and most recently with Source.
Hanne is an incredibly warm and approachable person. She is ambitious in her targets and is good at getting buy in from production teams to deliver these. She is also an incredibly good negotiator and is able to leave the room having achieved what she needed, with smiling faces all round. She has in-depth experience of US markets, European markets (she did some great work with Carrefour) as well as Asia and Middle East.
She has also helped to demystify the whole process of supply chains and exporting. On the whole she is fantastic at developing brands and marketing for foreign markets, keeping her feet on the ground and ensuring that the company can deliver.
Cristina Talens

Founder and Managing Director , Source Coffee

I’ve known and worked with H-L for a good number of years.
She’s very driven and results-oriented. She also has a great blend of export knowledge and strategy experience across a wide variety of categories.
