  • "I have attended a number of events that Hazel has planned. These have included both online and in person events, and have been for a mix of regional, national and international audiences. Put simply, Hazel takes every bit of stress out of planning and delivering events. She is extremely efficient, diligent and delivers to the highest possible standards. She works with clients to establish what is needed and what will work best, and delivers that on spec. I would have absolutely no issue in recommending her to anyone that wants to develop an event, whatever the scale."

    Teresa Garzon

  • "Hazel is very well organised and keeps on top of all those minor - but essential! - details which ensures her events run to plan. Her clear and timely communications makes working with her an absolute pleasure. She has that knack of creating calm behind the scenes, even during complex events. Not only is she brilliant at what she does, but she also takes the time to build genuine relationships with everyone involved: from suppliers to delegates – and the presenters, particularly those not accustomed to public speaking".

    Ian Armstrong

  • "I had the pleasure of attending several events organized by Hazel and each one stood out for its exceptional organization and insightful content. One notable event was the Sustainable Aquaculture Summit held on 16–17 May 2023 at the Technology and Innovation Centre in Glasgow. The summit brought together experts from industry, academia, and the public sector to discuss themes such as fish health, impactful innovation, and sustainable food systems. Hazel's meticulous planning ensured a seamless experience, from the engaging panel sessions to the networking dinner at Citation in Glasgow's Merchant City. Now, as the founder of Number Nine Events, I am confident that Hazel will continue to deliver exceptional events and marketing campaigns. Her dedication, expertise, and attention to detail make her an invaluable asset to any project she undertakes."
