'It was an absolute pleasure working with Aysen and Aylen, and the team at the Crafts Council, during the 16th edition of Collect in 2020 - an incredible team of talented people that were attentive and thorough. Both ourselves as sponsors and our clients as guests had a wonderful time.'
Chris Cox, Creative Director, Cox London & Nicola Cox, CEO Cox London
'It was an absolute pleasure to work with Aysen from the off. Her manner is always personable and professional in equal measure, and never fails to clearly communicate and accurately deliver on everything we discuss. We have continued partnering with Crafts Council on many different levels, all of which has been encouraged, coordinated and facilitated by Aysen and her deft right hand, Aylen.
When Aylen joined forces with Aysen, we also found her a breeze to work with. No stone left unturned, never failing to present opportunities and follow through with detailed reports. The pair of them apply their own pressure and never need chasing.
It is testament to this dynamic duo that we have happily remained supporters of the Crafts Council for four years. There are always challenges in any business arrangement, but Aylen and Aysen have the ability to make it fun and productive every step of the way.'
Kate Steele, Executive Communications Director, Microsoft
