"Julia brings a fresh and challenging perspective to the issue of packaging. She's
keen to puncture the myths and misconceptions consumers have about packaging but she doesn't let
the retailers off the hook. Not afraid to be controversial, Julia's presentation got people talking
at a higher level"

"I had to drop you a line to say 'a huge thank-you' to you for being
such a fantastic guest speaker - you were absolutely superb!.... You made a very
inspiring speech and I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending you to other event
organisers as a guest speaker on eco or renovation matters as a whole - or as an after-dinner
speaker - as you have such a warm and welcoming 'touch' to your delivery."
Naomi Handford-Jones, Big Green Home Show, Centre Events Manager, The National Self Build
& Renovation Centre, Oct 2009

“With her somewhat challenging lateral thinking and, 'out of the box' approach,
Julia Hailes has brought to our audience and our industry the useful element of destabilisation it
needed to avoid too much complacency and closed-loop reflection…”

“Julia Hailes ignited the CAOBISCO Sustainability Round Table with her incisive
observations and commentary. Her experience and mastery of her subject gave valuable insights to
the mainly business audience from across the European and International chocolate, biscuit and
confectionery industries”

"Julia has an infectious personality
which makes her a mesmorising speaker. Her speech at BITC's May day summit was compelling, yet
told in a really engaging and humourous way. Julia's passion and conviction really brought to
life why we were all sitting there. As a communications specialist I know how difficult it can
be for speakers to get up in front of a large audience and 'be themselves'. If only we could
bottle Julia's charisma!"

consultancy), (May 2009)

"I thoroughly enjoyed your speech and
the real examples of how individuals at all levels can make a difference - very thought
provoking and inspiring."

and inspirational presentation at P&G Earthday in Geneva. We keep getting positive
feedback about you and in particular from the lunch session, which left an impression on many
people! You created a buzz and talk within the organisation about sustainability
and our lifestyles. You truly inspired us that day (as you do at the Expert
Panels). Many thanks."

“Julia had a great impact at our
sustainability conference. As well as highlighting potential focus areas in her talk, she
got stuck in with the brand teams in the afternoon to think about how we could innovate to
change our products and consumer behaviours.”

"Julia participated in a panel discussion that
explored our CSR past, present and future. We encouraged her to be provocative because we
want to be challenged to create game changing social and environmental policies and
programs. And she sure delivered. She has strong opinions about McDonald's, and she's not
afraid to vocalize them."
"Most of all, a BIG thanks ....- you created a
very good buzz the rest of the day."
