July 2010 P Price, Private client
"I am very pleased with this (website). It looks fantastic and very professional. "
June 2010 Paul Crotty, MD Commercial Financial Directions Ltd
"I needed to get my head in order to make a big decision: as a result of meeting with Peronel, I have compartmentalised the decision process, and Peronel managed to get out of me, what I have not managed to do in several weeks. She is an inspiration, and gives valuable assistance."
June 2010: Carol Webb, MD Cashtrak
"I did not have time to oversee a new product development, (Facechart) and needed the system project managed, and I have been able to continue to focus on B line. I was very pleased with the professional help and expertise put in this. Without doubt I would recommend The Project Managers and if other projects come along, we would not hesitate to use you. Excellent. "
March 2010 D Beesley, Chairman, B-Line Business Supplies Ltd
"If I was time-strapped and short on resources to do a specific job, I know that by asking The Project Managers, it will be done the way I want."
February 2010: Tim Matcham, MD The Garden Network
"I asked Peronel to look generally at my business but specifically around franchising. From our meeting I have loads to do and am very motivated. Am working on typing up a plan of activites. it was good you had obviously done your homework. I am likely at get Peronel to assist me again, probably on a regular basis"
February 2010 Liz. Whyte, MD Really Really Green
"Well, what can I say? I liked working with you because, having given you a piece of work, you asked me appropriate questions to clarify exactly what I wanted as an end result, cracked on with it and delivered the end result to me without my having to chase. You kept me informed and checked back that I was happy during the process. What I most appreciated was being able to give you a brief and to let you get on with it, whilst at the same time knowing what was going on and being happy about things. . This gives me peace of mind , it saves my time and I know that what I have asked for will be delivered on time and to the standard required."
February 2010 Katy Gordon, Co-Creating Balance
"Peronel of The Project Managers is wonderful in so many ways. She sees every problem so clearly, asks just the right questions to help me see and understand the solutions so I can see the wood for the trees, and what is working and what is not. Don't expect and easy ride, you are going to have to work for results but it is worth every penny. I can honestly say that The Project Managers have been by far the best investment I have made since going into business and my only regret is that I didn't meet Peronel sooner."
January 2010: Sarah Whitmore Flametree Catering
""Excellent time and project management training event, good interaction with staff, useful examples to try out the theory and good opportunity for feedback. Thank you for an excellent event, the feedback from the staff in the week after has been good. "
January 2010: The Rev Canon Dr P Sedgwick Principal St Michaels College, Cardiff
"Spot on ideas, sorting out the priorities"
January 2010: Managing Director, Lindy's Cakes,
"The session I had with you helped to focus my thoughts and clarify the direction I am going in. It was also a huge help to be told that my ideas and different directions are possible and I now feel more confident that I am working in a way that suits both my personality and skills. Your own ability to work from both left and right brain meant that both business and creativity could be explored and understood and I now look forward to the liberation of the hitherto repressed business person in me! I have put the thoughts I wrote down up on the wall and have begun a business plan. I feel tremendously excited about 2010 so THANK YOU! "
January 2010: Laurelle Rond, Managing Director Your Sound Ltd
"We called for Peronel to see the wood past the trees!! I've learnt to plan our workload more efficiently and have more confidence in communicating with clients regarding investment requirement."
December 2009: Sarah Fletcher, Mushroom Souffle
"Very happy with what you have contributed and helped plant a few seeds in my mind. We now have to focus on generating clear revenue from the site before I look to invest more in external consultants"
December 2009, Richard Rosser Managing Director, The In Oxford Group
"I used The Project Managers to help me organise my time management so that I could balance existing clients with the development of a new furniture and product range. Now I manage my time more effectively by planning months ahead rather than days and weeks. It has been great to have some one to organise me when the pressure has been seriously on. "
December 2009: Hanna Francis-Laikola, Designer
"We have at last launched My preview.co.uk, delighted and thank you!"
December 2009, R. Hillsdon CEO,WebspaceWorld
"Preparing the promotional literature was relatively painless and a huge help - which is why I shall certainly use you again in the future! From one very satisfied client..."
November 2009: Katy Gordon, Director Co Creating Balance
"Thank you. (working with TPM & Eurosolve) We now have a linked set of desktops& laptops that we can keep consistent, and easily maintained. Also we have expertise on hand (you) if we need extra help. Everything is easier and more robust. We can use laptops on children's desks and pupils can use same version of software at the same time. We know we were very slow in making decisions and that sometimes you lost a little patience with us. We are glad you stayed with us and we stayed with you."
October 2009, Chris Taylor Treasurer to Board of Governors, Emmanual Christian School
"I asked The Project Managers in to help me focus on what I do best, what to delegate and when to do so. I am now more focused, delegating, organising my paperwork, my time and doing away with bits of paper on every surface. Now trying not to do "too much badly"."
September 2009: Sue Hazell Sewing Tuition
"I approached Peronel with a request to produce a website, business cards and a brochure for my new chiropractic business. I had no idea about what this might entail or cost but at our first meeting Peronel took time to explain to me exactly what could be achieved and at what cost.. I felt that I had been nurtured through the experience and, whilst Peronel was the creative genius, my character came through the website too! I have no hesitation in recommending Peronel and her team as she provided clear explanations of both process and costs and helped me to have leaflets, cards and a website which are contemporary, informative and innovative. "
September 2009 Sharon Callcott, Fairford Chiropractic
"During the last nine months, I have committed to various marketing activities: I had an intellectual understanding of my core market, however this caused me to doubt whether I was concentrating on the best group. Working with Peronel has given me the emotional and gut understanding of what I knew intellectually. I have security and commitment to continue with marketing to the group of "perfect fit" customers, those with whom I work best."
August 2009 Dr J Lelean, CEO, Healthy and Wealthy
"The Project Managers show great professionalism in their handling of us, and the data, adding value to the customer profile that we ended up building. They kept to deadlines and budgets, having costed the work and given us a full breakdown at the beginning and throughout the project."
July 2009 Hilary Fletcher, Ecco-Oxford
"I approached The Project Managers for help with developing a business plan. I had no idea where to start. In just one hour Peronel broke everything down into bite sized chunks that I could understand and work with. I was able to go away and write a clear business plan. I can see what I am aiming for now and when I hope to get there. Before this session I felt like I was fumbling around in the dark with no clear plans. One further session with Peronel helped to bring the whole business plan together in one concise document which is now always in front of me as my guide in all that I do with my business. I would highly recommend The Project Managers."
June 2009 Amy Roy, Touch Shiatsu
"Peronel did a great job in helping me more fully understand the value I bring to clients and how to convey that. Beyond that it's the evolving piece, and what we did together is still resonating and in it's own way developing - it's not fully gestated yet. Working with Peronel enables me to shortcut what can be circular thinking. This is saving me immense amounts of time."
April 2009: Neil Scotton, Director Coaching Professionals
"I confidently recommend Peronel Barnes and The Project Managers for a high standard service in managing your marketing projects."
April 2009: Alison Haill, MD Oxford Professional Consulting
"Brilliant, totally brilliant."
March 2009, Claire Pedrick, MD 3D Coaching
"I needed to get my website sorted. I knew what I wanted the 'feel' to be and wanted someone who could take that sort of brief. I also needed technical know-how and support - in English not techspeak. The Project Managers were very helpful. They advised on what to include, security issues and imagery – as well as suggesting a strap line to increase clarity of my offer. I'm really pleased with the site. It's a first stage that I can build on as and when I'm ready."
July 2008, Kate Vick, MD, Cutlervick Communications
"The conversation with The Project Managers was focussed and practical, suggesting direct prompts and guidance, with no fluffy ideas, making your down to earth approach very effective. Your consultancy advice is of huge benefit to my business and potentially to the bottom line"
June 2008, Jo Biddolph, MD, Amethyst Communications
"Kuhnke Communication undertook a major redevelopment of its website, involving the services of several different businesses. The intricate, inter-linked nature of the project, [combined with some technology problems] led to its falling badly behind schedule, and it risked not being completed. The Project Managers were able to step in and salvage the situation. They coordinated the work being done by the different businesses and individuals involved, ensuring clear communication, delineation of the tasks outstanding and the sensible division of labour. A sense of purpose/direction was restored as a result of The Project Managers’ intervention, and a time schedule could then be reinstated – which was then met! The Project Managers anticipated potential stumbling blocks and acted to resolve them before they interfered with the project as a whole. Thanks to The Project Managers, our website redevelopment was successfully completed on time. We would not hesitate in recommending their services to others – and indeed, we have retained them to help with other projects."
December 2007, Elizabeth Kuhnke, MD, Kuhnke Communication
"Phenomenal attention to detail, steering through blockages and huge common sense, support and encouragement."
December 2007, EMK, Private client
"Thank you for asking (these) questions. I was attracted by your blend of artistic creativity and strategic understanding, which I think may be the hardest part of getting a good website. The Project Managers are supplying the missing piece of the jigsaw."
December 2007, G. Smith, MD, Visionpoint
"Working with the Project Managers helped me formulate my requirements exactly and to offload the task of tendering to a knowledgeable project and marketing expert, in the form of Peronel. I would recommend any business owner to identify a major objective, initiative or campaign that could be off-loaded to the Project Managers. More than likely, had I not used the Project Managers, the task would still be undone."
October 2007, Paul Ovington, Oxford Management Solutions
"We were looking for a new name to rebrand the shop, and all that might entail. Using the Project Managers was great: Peronel understood where we were coming from, understood our aims, came up with choices of names, of images and of logos in a relatively short time and this caught the style we were after. Without their help I think we would be still struggling to find the right look. The best is having had my first web enquiry and booking from the new site."
November 2007, Louise Nisbet, Wild Thyme Florists
"Create & Consult (the Project Managers) were appointed to project manage a complete overhaul of our marketing material and company image. This included a new corporate logo, new website and a new newsletter. The project was carried out to a very tight timescale in order that the new branding could be unveiled at an annual company meeting. They proposed the new marketing strategy, chose and coordinated the sub-contractors for various aspects of the work and managed the project on a day to day basis. This meant that I was able to get on with the other aspects of running the business without getting caught up in the minutiae of the marketing strategy. Hepworth Acoustics also benefited from the knowledge and experience of The Project Managers, ending up with a better end product than would have been achieved had we undertaken the project in-house. The project was a success and I am very happy with the enhanced image of the company achieved by the new corporate logo and website."
January 2006, The Managing Director, Hepworth Acoustics Ltd.
"The web site is great. It’s easy to navigate and clear to understand. Getting it set up and built was (nearly) painless. The way in which The Project Managers guided us through the planning and the feedback meant that what we have ended up with is better than we could have imagined. The constructive comments, suggestions and extra ideas have given the site the correct feel for the business. Fantastic to have got our first job from the site within a couple of weeks of the launch!"
April 2007, Nicola Thompson, MD, Culver Design Ltd
"Thank you for your highly efficient build up and the immaculate presentation of our trade stand. Your presence was invaluable to the company as you acted on our behalf throughout the exhibition, engaging visitors in conversation which quickly led to sales leads and conversions."
December 2005, Sarah Williams, MD, WORDSMITH TM
"Peronel (of The Project Managers) listened to the ideas that we had, and then ran the job for us. She looked after the layout and copy, photo-shoot, the printers, and the binder design. We made the decisions and she and her team got on with the graft. Saved us a great deal of work."
October 2004, Kevin White, MD, Blind Fashion
