Decades of experience. Gut instinct. Fearless determination. Sharp attention to detail.

Astounding attention to detail
When I launched a very specialist restaurant. Maria’s contribution was absolutely essential. Her instinct for making the most of a space, pricing and marketing was only outdone by her outstanding attention to detail. Because of her input during and after the launch, my business became profitable within the first few months of opening.
Resilience and expertise
I have never worked with anyone as resilient as Maria. When she came on board to overhaul Sanzio in 2010, there was a lot of pressure. Despite this, she was extremely kind and patient in dealings with new staff and management. On top of this, her decades of experience meant that she was astute when controlling spending, and she understood and simplified the accounts system in a matter of days.
She knows what makes customers come through the door
When I opened the newest premises of my restaurant chain, footfall was slower than forecasted and I decided to hire a consultant. Within her first hour in the restaurant, Maria suggested interior design changes that we made more sense. In the following weeks and months, her availability and kindness, along with her sharp analysis of menus and service, became key to our success. She has since gone on to consult at all our restaurants across London. Her instinct for what makes a customer come through the door is the best I’ve seen.
