Testimonials
- We operate in a service- driven, highly competitive market and as one of the UK’s most recognisable financial services brand we are very keen to work with suppliers who understand our business, the issues we face and how best their expertise can support our objectives.
When working with us, Buckmark quickly built rapport and trust with our executive team and feedback from the executives has been overwhelmingly positive for Buckmark.
Their organisation, planning and attention to detail on every project is faultless. Their staging, lighting and sound is ‘on the money’ and the team work hard to make the events run smoothly – this is no mean feat when you have to de-rig a set at 18:00 in Bradford and rebuild when you arrive in London at 11:00. This is typical of the way they work – they make the event happen in front of and behind the scenes.
They offer help and support on all aspects of communications: medium, tone style and content. This is particularly useful if that expertise is not readily available in your organisation.
The work they have produced has been instrumental in increasing employee satisfaction and engagement levels across our Group.
Louise O’Garra: Head of Internal Communications, Bradford & Bingley plc - Whitbread started working with Buckmark Productions and John Roebuck in 1986 and we have worked with him and his team ever since then.
We work with Buckmark to facilitate the design, development and delivery of communications events, video and printed material to support our internal communications and culture development activities.
Most recently and undoubtedly a ‘personal best’ was the Whitbread Hotels and Restaurants 2009 conference. In the development of this extraordinary event the Buckmark team took our ideas and stretched them ... and us ... to engage people in a way we had not previously considered. This delivered a result which is having a measureable impact on our sales performance in all areas of the business.
Work with John and the team, put in your best thinking and really own the outcome, listen learn, and let them do what they do best turning good into great, and great into world class.
Ben Wishart: Group IS Director, Whitbread Group PLC - Effectively communicating a complicated, fast moving and incredibly dynamic proposition such as Tchibo is a real challenge and Buckmark have been invaluable in ensuring this has been done in an inspiring, creative and effective manner.
Your ability to really get inside our business, the proactive approach and the professionalism of your team and your ability to deliver really first rate work under considerable time (and often budget) pressure are just some of the reasons why we enjoy working so closely with you.
The programmes you have made are used internationally throughout the Company to illustrate the ‘heart and soul’ of the brand, without you this would not be possible. You’ve really got under our skin.
Please know that I am more than happy to recommend you as a dependable, talented and cost effective partner who gets the job done and is capable of adding real value to any Client’s business. Ella Tracey: Marketing Director, Tchibo (GB) Ltd - Many congratulations on yet another seamless and brilliant production of the WHR Conference last week. These days I attend some very high profile events in Dubai and I can tell you the production is never remotely up to the standards you achieve consistently event after event. Darroch Crawford: Managing Director, PI Gulf Hotels LLC
- Thanks so much for everything you and the guys did for the conference, over the past few months, weeks and yesterday of course. I really enjoyed the whole experience, and you've all been really great to work with.
Some of the area managers I sat with at dinner last night had received texts from their GMs saying how great it was, so it was worth all the hard work - I don't know how you guys do this day in day out - I'm exhausted! Lea Graham: Internal Communication Manager, Whitbread
