What they say…

“You have most clearly got those essential ingredients, a genuinely original and wanted product combined with enthusiasm, zeal and business savvy.”
Susan Devlin, Chief Training Officer, Oxford Business College

“Kate came away raving about what she had learned. All our advertising has changed, we’ve got USPs and a more attractive format and better messages, and we’ve begun to take more sales, so we’re both delighted.”
John Niewoudt, Ceramics in Symmetry, Hythe, Kent

“I was really impressed with the way that you helped us develop our objectives. The strategies that we then put in place to market our flowers really worked. The promotions went off well and our contacts with our buyers improved too. It was so useful to have someone devote that kind of input; I really felt that I more than fully benefited from the programme.”
Andrew May, Managing Director, Mainland Marketing Ltd, for Isles of Scilly Producers

“The actions of Andrew Pearson, in charge of both Centres for Agri-Business Development at L’viv and Odessa, represent the major input of the project. Andrew has very successfully managed the two local Ukrainian managers in a concept of total technical assistance to support entrepreneurial activity and co-operative development to facilitate the implementation of the government’s agrarian reforms. In addition TACIS has found two very good strategic platforms to implement its policies in the future.”
Fiona Cubitt, European Technical Manager, Cargill Technical Services

“I have never been to anything like it before. I learned enough to think and to question a number of things I do in my business. The ‘tricks of the trade’ I have learned will help gain more profit and more satisfied customers. All the techniques and tools are very easy to implement and hardly cost me anything, and I see the response straight away. The programme has given me more confidence and realisation that there are better ways of doing many things.”
Peter Cox, Grange Farm Business Park, Bicester, Oxfordshire

“We have better focus and better relationships with our customers which has helped us increase our turnover by £35,000 per month.”
Don Burgess, Managing Director, of Freeminer Brewery, in Gloucestershire

“Excellent – some of the best workshops I have ever attended. They have shown me how I can identify my customers and their needs, so that I can offer them value for money and build long-term relationships with them. Now I know the concept ‘deliver plus one’ and how I can delight my customers continuously to turn them into advocates for my business.”
Heather Holmes, Wyvern Forestry

“What you did was to create the time and space for us to think about our business strategy and you’ve facilitated open discussion and given us a structure to arrive at some new actions and tasks we can test and develop in the market”
David Neil, Andersons Consulting

“I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the work you did with us recently. Your work has been extremely useful to me, highlighting areas for attention and confirming some of my beliefs as to ways in which our business could be improved. In particular, the table of proposed action points has proved very effective for us.

If I may, I would like to point out how professionally your consultancy was carried out and would be delighted to recommend the process to other potential clients if that would be of assistance to you.”
Simon Harvey, Divisional Director, Mack International

“It was brilliant having the opportunity to learn from someone like you”
Marcella Verche, Marver (Publishers) Ltd, London

“Thanks for all your careful research during the year making a valuable contribution to our company’s development.”
John Adams, Chief Divisional Director, Fowler Welch, Portsmouth

“The work that you have done to identify the need and feasibility for food and drink parks in the West Midlands together with the size, facilities and services will kick start a wave of infrastructure development within the region.”
Peter Mitchell, Managing Director, CORE Food & Drink, Pershore

“…this programme (How to create and exploit a Unique Strategic Position) is conducted with professionalism and provides business owners and managers with the practical action points they need to find and carry forward new business opportunities.”
Chris Knock Managing, Director, ADER programme

“I got a lot. Until then I was just quoting my company’s name at meetings and in my literature I came away with a USP which I’m really pleased about. This will help me attract and convert more prospects into sales. I also know how to put together a mail shot to help reach one of my customers’ accounts. So thank you.”
Jamie O’Connell, CEO, Credit Control Solutions Ltd, New Romney, Kent

“I left the programme with new vigour. I was impressed. Since that time I can identify what I am best at and now tend to stick to these matters. Exhibitions from initial creation to finished project is a must simply because I am good at it having had many years experience in this industry.”
Cliff Deller, Delgraphics, Sittingbourne, Kent
