Daphne Thissen is the founder and director of Thissen Consulting, an independent agency providing one to one client feedback in the construction industry. She compliments her offering with workshops around participation and building partnerships for senior managers, focusing mainly on soft skills used in business and client relationship development. Before starting her own business, she worked for the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the UK, facilitating and sponsoring UK and Dutch collaborations in design, architecture and the creative industries.
Since she started interviewing clients on behalf of her customers, she has generated over 300 reports, and helped improve relationships, interaction and future work prospects, for companies delivering consultancy services, engineering and architecture in the UK and globally.
Daphne trained as an architectural historian at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. Two board memberships, one at the De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill and one at the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland, mean she remains involved in the creative industries.
