DETAILED COMMENTS

The Stannah Lifts Group of Companies

Brian Stannah, Chairman, The Stannah Group of Companies
Vauxhall Motors
"Thank you for your report which was well laid out with clear conclusions, supported by sound statistical evidence. The work was undertaken in a most professional manner, the original brief met in every detail and I was delighted in the way your team adhered to the agreed timetable and kept me informed at every stage. It is a pleasure to recommend your organisation to anyone seeking a subject area investigated and reported on in a very short time period."
Brian Lindop, Manager Educational Affairs, Vauxhall Motors Limited
Powell Magrath Spencer
"Without your assistance it is unlikely that we would have been in a position to even identify, let alone analyse, our internal organisation and communication problems. You have confirmed the value of professional advice from an area outside our own competence.”
Chris Magrath, Senior Partner, Powell Magrath & Spencer (solicitors)
Holloway White Allom
“Liza quickly saw the media opportunities and capitalised on these on our behalf, achieving far more media coverage than we had originally thought possible, especially given the considerable constraints under which she was working.

As a result of Liza’s press campaign for the Admiralty Arch project, we have seen in excess of £60 millions’ worth of enquiries for our team to explore.”
Derek Ednie, Director, Holloway White Allom (specialist construction)
Halfen Unistrut
"Abucon were factual and honest, coming in just under budget, with no hidden extras; value for money, and you can't say that for many companies these days. Liza herself inspired trust. I was impressed by her sense of humour and professionalism."
Brian Thomas, Sales and Marketing Director, Halfen-Unistrut (construction components)
Chase Plastics
“Abucon were eager and adaptable to structure the project to fit our purposes, very professional and yet friendly. Team members were most helpful and thorough. Their implementation of the research was excellent and we now have a deeper understanding of the local scrap market-place. They met the agreed time-table and kept to the budget, with no hidden extras.”
Jessica Baker, Financial Director, Chase Plastics (plastic recycling)
Salmon Speed Architects
"You have successfully conducted a variety of activities from management advice through creative ideas to the implementation of many projects. One particular highlight was your professional planning and organisation of the launch of the Abbeyfield Extra Care Guide by the Chief Medical Officer, and I should like to thank you and your team for all your hard efforts."
Geoffrey Salmon, Senior Partner, Salmon Speed Architects
Tate Appointments
"Your help in assisting us was highlighted this week when I granted share options to all in the management team. We have also implemented your recommendation to have everyone psychometrically tested. I value highly the whole exercise and very much appreciated the help you and Pam gave, and the sensitive manner in which you gave it."
Lady Tate, Managing Director, Tate Appointments (secretarial recruitment) 
Pica Design and Print

Your report represents a fantastic springboard for our future success and I have no hesitation in recommending your company and your services."
Dennis McCarthy, Managing Director, Pica Design and Print

Actspeed
“We have so far received over 200 sales leads as a result of these features, and we are absolutely delighted with this response. The features have not only helped to raise awareness of Actspeed, but also of the growing market for the installation of fire sprinklers in domestic locations.”
Des Potten, General Manager, Actspeed (fire sprinklers)
Carclo Technical Plastics
"We appointed specialists to free up internal resources. Abucon listens to what we want and comes up with solutions. I would like to record my appreciation for the efforts of all Liza's team when designing and installing the Carclo stands. Carclo was very well promoted by the concept and quality of the stand. The quality and quantity of the visitors more than met my expectations. The latest Medical Devices trade show was an improvement over previous years and your organisation of our stand appeared flawless."
Martin Day, Sales Director, Carclo Technical Plastics (medical disposables)
