SANAS on the warpath – Honeycomb the next statistic
This is conflicting. I have had one experience with Honeycomb when I referred (now an ex) client to them. The director of Honeycomb, a Mrs Mitchell, referred her husband to the client as a BEE consultant, whilst copying me. The email itself to the client was very damning of me and I was the one
