What our Schools say about us
“Having worked in communications for 3 years, I found Justin on school fundraising and charitable communications both fresh and expertly delivered. I found myself armed and ready to tackle my school's projects immediately, thanks to the Justin, resources and case studies that directly related to the challenges we face.
Justin was so friendly and helpful. I was able to ask as many questions as I needed and am still able to contact him now for help and advice!"
“Thank you for making marketing so relevant, accessible – and fun! You are always such a knowledgeable, generous, and engaging colleague. The ultimate school marketing myth buster!”
“Over the last year we’ve worked closely with Justin to increase our capacity and capability for income generation and also to develop our own in-house bid writing skills. We’re absolutely delighted to have secured two grants totalling over £1.4m in recent months, which will be used to develop the infrastructure of the College.
