Clients and Testimonials

Kate Mavor
Chief Executive National Trust for Scotland
"When we took Alan on the National Trust for Scotland was in upheaval and change and his support was invaluable. Negatives quickly became positives as he used his network of trusted media contacts to help us gain the coverage which put across a truer picture and restored the charity’s image."

Anne Farquharson
Marketing Director
Henderson Loggie CA
“Alan’s experience and reputation within the media sector have proved invaluable, and he has helped to raise our profile on a national level. We have recently gone through a period of considerable growth, and Alan has ensured that our media presence reflects the size and reputation of the firm in the market.”

Sam Sweeney
Bracewell Stirling Architects
“In the uncharted territory of recession and ever changing legislation on global warming we wanted our recent development successes recognised. Alan’s ability to understand our business and his reputation and valuable connections won a surprising degree of access to key media figures who published opinion and commentary from us. All this has raised our profile.”

Professor Gordon Mackay

He clearly draws on the highly successful career he has enjoyed in journalism and I feel his gently reassuring manner in media relations flows from a confidence gained in that career."
