Testimonials

As a director of SPADE I had the pleasure of working with Bernie Everard during her time as CEO of SPADE and saw first-hand the qualities that made her such an effective and respected leader. Bernie brought strong strategic vision, dedication and focus to her role, combined with a genuine commitment to advancing SPADE’s mission. Under her leadership, SPADE’s profile grew significantly, and she greatly enhanced the organisation’s network, strengthening its connections and opportunities for collaboration. What particularly distinguished Bernie was her ability to combine strategic thinking with diligence, determination and a thoughtful, caring approach to those around her. She valued her colleagues, supported her team and recognised the importance of building strong relationships based on trust and mutual respect. Her leadership made a meaningful contribution to SPADE’s development and standing. I have great respect for Bernie’s professionalism, commitment and the positive impact she made, and I am delighted to recommend her and her work.

“Starting a small business comes with many challenges like finding the right markets, building your brand, and knowing where to turn for advice. That was us a couple of years ago, until we met Bernie and joined Midlands Flavours. With Bernie's invaluable guidance, we refined our brand strategy, set clear goals, found the right markets and shows, and grew our business. Her support helped us increase revenue, gain brand exposure, and build valuable connections. Thanks to Bernie and Midlands Flavours, we are now a stronger, more confident, and more recognisable business. We are sincerely grateful for her continued support and guidance..”

“Our first interaction with Bernie was over two years ago, when she began developing and championing the Midlands Flavours brand under the Just Transition programme. As a former business owner, Bernie truly understands the mindset and challenges faced by small businesses. Through her leadership, she has inspired a sense of purpose and ambition across a diverse range of food and beverage companies throughout the four Midlands counties. From our own experience, Bernie has opened doors to valuable new routes to market, including events such as the National Ploughing Championships and Gifted, which we may otherwise have overlooked. These opportunities have had a significant positive impact on our business financially, while also providing invaluable customer feedback on our products, packaging and pricing, along with opportunities for staff development. We would highly recommend working with Bernie. She has a natural ability to quickly identify challenges, understand business needs and offer practical, experience-led solutions that deliver real value.”

We’ve worked closely with Bernie Everard on a number of events here at Preston House and have always found her great to deal with. She’s professional, friendly and very easy to work with, which makes a real difference when organising events. Bernie is always well organised, easy to communicate with and happy to work together to make sure everything runs smoothly. We’ve really enjoyed working with her and would happily recommend her to anyone planning an event.

I had the pleasure of working directly with Bernie during her time in SPADE, and what always stood out to me was her genuine passion for helping people and small businesses succeed. Starting a business can be a daunting journey, particularly for small artisan producers, and Bernie has a wonderful ability to make people feel supported, encouraged and confident in what they're trying to achieve. She brings a lovely mix of practical understanding, positivity and genuine care to her work. Bernie believes in people, sees their potential and is always willing to offer the guidance and encouragement they need to take that next step. Having worked alongside her, I know just how much that personal support can mean to someone starting out. It's something Bernie does naturally, and it makes a real difference.
