What our customers think

"Our clerk is assertive enough to advise me as Chair and other governors about our statutory duties and process at meetings and in-between meetings.  She is very personable and responsive. Her minutes are thorough and timely."
Jo Clare, Chair of The Garden School, 2025

“I have been Chair of New River College's Management Board since March 2025. I have found general clerking of meetings to be both timely and efficient. I also inherited a few governance issues which required specialist support. The advice I received was evidence based and ensured procedural accuracy. As a new Chair (though experienced Governor) it has been useful to have a source of support and advice and to rely on this being a confidential service. I recommend Hackney's Governor Services without reservation.”
Richard Brown, Chair of New River College Management Board, March 2026
