“I have no hesitation in recommending The Mackman Group to organisations like us who see the provision of a website as an integral part of their management in the twenty-first century.”

Adrian Walters – Sudbury Common Lands Charity

“We have been extremely impressed with their level of professionalism and creativity. After designing our website it was a natural progression for them to work on our brochure and one which we have not been disappointed with. Both the brochure and the website have been well received by our customers and by an independent paving expert. They offer a friendly, efficient and extremely professional service. I look forward to working with them again in the future.”

Shirley Spittal – Global Stone

“The Mackman team are delightful young people full of creative ideas. After introducing them to our project and discussing our needs, they came forth with some fabulous ideas and suggestions, all of which we have taken on board. The new logo artwork was vibrant, modern and just us! I can highly recommend the Mackman Group; they have a truly professional approach and are a pleasure to work with. They have updated us every stage of the way and delivered the goods on time. Trust in them and you can’t go wrong.”

“Baker Tilly has commissioned the services of Mackman Group since 2003 and they are currently working with us on a number of concurrent projects. All projects have been delivered on time, to budget and we have always found them extremely attentive and professional.

I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Mackman Group. Their collaborative and plain speaking approach makes working with them a pleasure. High standards are consistently maintained at every part of the research process from questionnaire design, through to data collection, analysis, and the concise presentation of results. In particular we appreciate their no-nonsense approach to reporting results in a concise and graphical manner that is easily understood.

Mackman Group adheres to strict ethical guidelines as laid down by the Market Research Society and as such we have every confidence in their handling of sensitive information.

If you are looking for a top class and reliable organisation with a can do approach that represents extremely good value for money, then go no further than the Mackman Group.”

“Simple, effective designs, fast efficient service and great back-up support = more customers, more profit and happier people! Thanks for all your hard work and input.”

Stephen Adams – Quayside Bar and Restaurant

So many businesses underestimate the importance of professional design input, thank goodness we do not!  All of our customers say our new shop front looks fabulous (staff too) and we are all really proud of the local brand, image and shop that you have helped us to develop and grow over the last few years.  Once again thank you Bruce.  You are a star and should get a raise! Great work!

Abi Neill – Abigail’s Collection

“Following consultation with a Business Link advisor, I met with Bruce Burgoyne of Mackman Group to discuss how I could take the first steps towards having a strong brand image for my growing B2B telemarketing business. Calls That Count was developing quickly and I needed to take ‘the next step’. Like many small businessses my budget was very tight, but I still wanted something which would represent Calls That Count in a professional manner and which communicated our key messages in a straight forward and effective way. Bruce suggested their incubation package and I’m delighted he did. I now have a website which looks great, a suite of other marketing materials to help me move forwards, and all at a very affordable cost. Bruce and the team at Mackman were very helpful throughout, talking me through the thinking behind the brand they’d created and showed a great deal of patience during the fine tuning stage of the project.

If you’re a small business owner looking to take the next step too, I’d recommend giving the team at Mackman a call.”

Robbie Stepney – Calls That Count

“I found the Mackman Group to be extremely helpful from the very first time we spoke. Being a new business owner, I wasn’t 100% sure what I wanted; however the Mackman Group guided me through every step with fantastic ideas and advice wherever I needed it. I can honestly say that I have never received such a dedicated, friendly service from another company. I continually felt confident that I placed my business needs in the Mackman Group’s hands and the results are first class. I will certainly be using and recommending the Mackman Group in the future.”

Jo Page – Girl Next Door

“I write to express on behalf of myself and my partners our thanks for the excellent work that you have undertaken on our behalf in assisting us in our marketing campaigns. We have found it extremely useful to have your focus and reminders to ensure the programme is structured and carried through. We are also grateful for the constructive ideas you have put forward and the prompt implementation of the plans when agreed. I feel sure that your company will go from strength to strength based on the quality of information and advice you have provided to us.”

Geoff Tarr – Griffin Chapman Chartered Accountants

“We have been delighted with the work of the Mackman Group, consistently professional and efficient service through the whole re-branding process. You have brought our image out of the 80′s and made it fresh and relevant today and right for our clients. Thanks to the whole team for your help and patience in developing an image that works for our funders, clients, and our Trustees as well!”

Jane Blomely – Colchester Y.E.S

“It was a pleasure to work with you in the revamp of our website. We were extremely pleased with the new visuals and graphics and your creative input, along with your efficient and professional service and we have had very positive feedback on our new look.

We look forward to continuing to work with you and we will most certainly recommend you to anyone who has an existing website, or wishes to create one.”

Clare Dale – Dudley Smith Partnership

The Mackman Group has provided us outstanding customer perception surveys over the last few years. Their professional, friendly approach makes them excellent to work with and we have found the use of perception surveys dramatically improved our customer relationships.

Over all I have been delighted with the Mackman Group’s service, high quality, and found their research useful and focused on our needs as a business.”

Helen Haddon – Odgers, Ray & Berdtson

“We have been trading now for one month under the new name of CO1 Factory Outlet. Sales have doubled since we applied the new name and branding to the store. Customers have commented on how the logo and branding makes the store appear much more professional. I feel that this gives customers more confidence in shopping with us. Since using the new name and branding we have seen a lot of new customers who had never been to the store before.

As you have done work for me on various occasions over the last couple of years you clearly understand what I expect, as from a fairly open and undefined brief you managed to hit the nail on the head with this one. So all in all, I am very happy with the branding and the new image you designed for the store. I would like to thank you and your team very much.”

Steve Sutton – CO1 Factory Outlet

“I am pleased to offer a reference for the Mackman Group who have been known to myself and our organisation since January 2007.

During this time we have worked closely with Paul and Gemma Mackman to initially scope then deliver Customer Satisfaction Surveys on our behalf. At all times we have found their knowledge, research and expertise exemplary.

Mackman Group carry out their work with complete confidentiality; the quality of the reports and presentations they have completed for us have been to a very high standard and have enabled us to proactively improve our customer relationship management. I recommend the Mackman Group to you without hesitation.”
