Mandy joined Richard Newton Consulting (RNC) as an Associate Consulting in 2010. In October 2021, Mandy joined RNC as a member of our growing team of Account Managers specialising in Fundraising.

Out of Office
Mandy gives us another South West outpost with her return home to the North Cornwall coast with her two daughters and loopy puppy.
Mandy gained a MSc in International Development with a Distinction in 2021. This combines her passion for people with a love of travel. This was inspired by a trip to Lebanon with Richard in 2018, which grew into a project working with the Palestinian refugee community.
Mandy also volunteers her time to support women. Recent projects include a photojournalism exhibition in collaboration with female economic migrants from Guinea Bissau in West Africa and She’s Worth It, a money skills workshop for women experiencing economic abuse.
