As a B Corp Coach and a Cochair of the Bristol & Bath B Local, life is usually pretty full on so I was absolutely delighted that the PurpleFish team were able to help project manage this years PurposeFest event with over 300 attendees. It took a big load from me and enabled me to focus time and effort elsewhere. Jonathan and the team really knew what they were doing and had the systems and experience to make a really positive difference to the whole event.
