A client praised Ruth for creating a calm, respectful environment during mediation — professional, impartial, and genuinely supportive throughout.

A lovely afternoon today at the @OxfordPlayhouse for their Primary Playmaker Showcase.

What a lovely experience, to listen and watch 360 primary school children from 10 primary schools across the county having fun & being so engaged in theatre.
Thank you for the invite!👏🏻👏🏻

So proud of everything we’ve achieved…so far! #IWD2025

@bho_rh and @bho_iso my partners at work who probably see more of me than my family. So proud to have set up @bho_llp together and to make progress every day.
