TESTIMONIALS
Lorna worked for me as my Media & Comms advisor when I was the Standing Joint Commander (UK) during Defence’s contribution to the COVID pandemic. She was pivotal to the successful military operation; authoritative, insightful, bright, engaging, thoroughly professional, master of her brief and an exceptional team player. She will make an invaluable contribution anywhere.

Lorna Ward has cemented her reputation at the NATO Joint Warfare Centre as a true professional who consistently delivers high quality results. In the chaotic media simulation environment, Lorna is always quick to embrace complex challenges and provide quick and executable solutions. As a journalist, she is proficient across all platforms – TV news, online/print media and social media. Her nuanced work on our adversarial TV news program brought the platform a level of credibility previously lacking, resulting in a more realistic training environment for NATO’s operational and strategic headquarters. Finally, her ability to provide bespoke media training to NATO’s key leaders has had a direct and positive impact on NATO readiness. After a session with Lorna, they are more confident, composed and ready to engage, which is a critical requirement for NATO to survive in today’s information battlespace.
