‘Kate designed a wonderful heritage trail for Swindon. It was a mammoth job for one person but we are delighted with what she has created. Kate took responsibility for shaping the route of the trail and for suggesting how it should be presented and promoted. She created the content, undertaking a huge amount of research in order to find (and interpret) the most interesting and relevant stories. I particularly loved how she incorporated historic images into her designs in a way that looks contemporary and stylish.’ Karen Phimister, Heritage Action Zone Project Officer
