Testimonials

Jason helped me work out what insurance I didn’t need so I was able to safely dispense with policies that had no benefit for me.

Cobine Carmelson’s knowledge is second to none. They get to the heart of the matter fast and are completely commercially focused, understanding the complicated environment we trade in. They are not just an insurance broker, ultimately they are an additional member to the team and a flawless one at that.

I have known Jason for many years and he provides excellent insurance advice as broker for the business. Very knowledgeable and very competitive, goes the extra mile.

I’ve always been a sceptic of business insurance yet I’m delighted Jason Cobine saved me 30%. And what’s more, I do actually feel very reassured, that I’ve bought the right thing, and that I’m covered for what I need to be covered for.

Succinct, insightful and actionable. Suparna coached me through a career transition in a way that enabled me to clarify my own objectives and priorities. With actionable guidance, I have new mechanisms in place for how I manage myself and others and work. I would highly recommend her to those looking to elevate their own performance and standards

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Pam Vick as a Non-Executive Director (NED) for Impress, where her exceptional marketing acumen and commercial nous has played a pivotal role in shaping our strategic direction, brand development and communication strategy. Her deep understanding of market trends and how they dovetail with marketing systems, tools and practises, combined with their attentive and collaborative leadership style showcased in her position as the Chair of our Business Development Committee, makes her an invaluable asset to our board. I highly recommend Pam for any organisation seeking a visionary NED, incredible marketeer and strategist.

We commissioned Pam almost a year ago to work with the senior management team at Advantage Utilities to help us plan and implement our ambitious growth plans for the business. As a business development and marketing advisor she has helped us to transform our approach to business development and has delivered a demonstrable return on investment in the 8 months that these plans have been operational, even in light of challenging Covid-19 conditions. I would not hesitate to recommend her to any organisation looking for a Board Advisor, NED or consultant in terms of business development.

I’m recommending Pam for her great work as a Trustee and advisor to the British Ecological Society. Pam has really helped us gain deeper insights, new perspectives and identify future opportunities. We couldn’t have done that without her expert skills and knowledge. Pam joined the British Ecological Society’s Board of Trustees in November 2021 and has been a hugely valued part of the BES team since then. We’ve needed to diversify our income for some time and Pam’s extensive experience in commercial development and marketing has helped us transform how we work. She’s challenged our assumptions and ways of working whilst respecting the culture of the organisation and existing skills and experiences. Both other trustees and staff very much appreciate and value Pam’s wise insights and guidance as we work through change to create greater impact. Pam is also a joy to work with and has a great sense of humour.

Pam has operated to a great extent as an informal NED for me and the other board members of WOB UK for many years, since the very earliest days, and I consider her to be an invaluable sounding board. So it’s been fantastic to see her formal NED, Trustee and Board Advisory portfolio take off. She has been involved with WOB since the beginning, initially as a business development advisor and marketing specialist, and was instrumental in helping us to set up and grow our digital marketing programmes in particular. She also worked very closely with me on our PR and media outreach in the early days, helping us to get to the point where regular coverage on the BBC and in publications like the FT and Sunday Times became a reality not an aspiration. I know that Pam is keen to expand her NED portfolio in the next 12 months and I can wholeheartedly recommend her.

Pam is a hugely experienced marketing consultant who works with a range of clients from a central London solicitors practice to global property companies. Everything she does is based on sound research, great consumer insights and marketing plans that are rigorously tested and refined. She is also one of the most energetic people you could ever hope to work with

The brand, from being totally unknown, achieved European brand leadership in 8 months and became the most valuable asset of the business.

Choosing a grant system can be overwhelming, given the numerous options available. BenefactorCloud strikes the perfect balance between functionality and affordability, avoiding the extremes of basic, low-cost solutions and high-end, expensive software. Gallery Partnership’s willingness to incorporate our suggestions for additional features and improvements over time is particularly valuable.

Despite other companies offering similar software, their main focus was more commercial businesses, whereas with Gallery, their only focus is charities, and it was clear that with their experience, the challenges our organisation faced would be much better understood.

Often with a big company, you lose that personal touch – with Gallery, I can just pick up the phone and know the person I’m talking to will sort the issue out straight away. It was this personal relationship approach that convinced us to also move our IT support over to Gallery. We feel much more secure knowing that all our back-ups are taken care of by a team of specialists. Anytime we ask for anything, there is always the reassurance there is someone there to help.

I’ve worked with several IT management companies and Gallery is simply outstanding. Whenever I speak to any of the support team everything is always resolved promptly and professionally, plus it is so lovely to be able to pick up the phone and speak to someone who knows you and your organisation.

I have had the privilege of working with Gallery Partnership for just under 6 and a half years,and have found them professional, patient, prompt and caring in their approach to IT support that strikes an incredible balance between the high standards required to manage business systems and infrastructure, security and resilience with a workforce comprised of a variety of people with different needs and abilities. No simple task, and yet they have done so with real aplomb and kindness throughout. This has developed an incredible amount of trust on the part of our business and we are grateful for the lengths they have gone to in order to earn and maintain that. Highly recommended.
