Rhona Malone

“Having known and worked with Veronica for over 20 years, I experienced first-hand the value of her direct and honest approach. She challenged me to think differently, question what I had accepted and face things I might otherwise have avoided.

The insight and tools I gained through working with her stayed with me and became invaluable when I later faced some of the most challenging circumstances of my life.

That work strengthened my ability to stand my ground, take responsibility for my decisions and pursue what I knew was right.

In 2021, I made legal history by holding Police Scotland to account in a landmark case, resulting in an award of more than £1.5million. The case also had a wider impact on policing, including the use of non-disclosure agreements.

The work I did with Veronica played a significant part in the person I became and in the decisions, I was able to make when it mattered.”
