    NZME

  • “We worked with Julia at 131 Queen for over 4 months to get the space prepared for a weeklong furniture showcase. Julia went out of her way to ensure we had everything covered and connected us with external contractors who she had worked with before onsite to ensure it went smoothly. Julia’s experience in the industry really showed as she guided us from start to finish in the space and was on hand to help at every point. I would recommend working with Julia on any project and will be doing repeat business with her in the coming months”.
