The Proof of the Pudding is in the eating

The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations dates this very old proverb back to the early 14th century. The phrase is widely attributed to Cervantes in The History of Don Quixote, although not proven.

Testimonials

  • “Alison was willing to listen to my ideas, to work with those, but also to put her own ideas before me. Together this resulted in my new business taking off, the creation of its logo design, website ideas, stationery and more. This was achieved without fuss, in a timely fashion and very importantly for a new company, at relatively minimal cost. I have been pleased with every aspect of Alison’s approach to my business as her ideas are targeted, so that I am not overwhelmed with options and ideas. She seems to know, intuitively, just what is necessary. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Alison’s services, indeed I have already spoken to other companies about what she might be able to offer to them.” November 2009

    Paul Smith, APEX Planning
  • “I would trust Alison with any project of the telephoning type. She was thorough in delving into organisations’ interests and correct contacts. She always acted with the client’s interest upper most. Very good.” March 2010

    Stephen Archer, Spring Partnerships
  • “Alison has really helped me to focus on the marketing of my business and has taken much of this work out of my hands freeing me up to do my work whilst knowing that the important job of marketing is no longer neglected. Alison has a great gift for seeing exactly what is required and simplifying it whereas I get bogged down in the detail. She has the ability to clearly get my message across and see things from an unbiased client perspective.” March 2010

    Cathy Johnson, Womb to Bloom
  • “Alison has been involved in the launch and ongoing development of both Spirit Fleet Solutions and MK CarStore. She has proved herself to be highly adaptable and always demonstrates a willingness to help. She is multi-skilled, budget conscious, works to deadlines and offers practical solutions. Her main involvement has been with web development and re-design, direct mail, media booking for press advertising and radio campaigns, POS and signage, event planning and management, data cleansing and radio scripting. Alison consistently delivers high levels of quality and commitment and I would have no hesitation in recommending her.” April 2010

    Dee Smith, Spirit Fleet Solutions

    Helen Reeley, Reeley Landscapes
  • “Alison’s sales and marketing expertise and support was incredibly valuable to our used car operation, both during the start-up phase of the business and in developing our marketing activities going forward. Alison is both proactive and reactive in meeting our needs and her efficiency puts the rest of us to shame! From planning and scripting a radio campaign to writing ad copy, I have no hesitation in recommending her services.” August 2010

    Katy Etherington, PA Pool
  • “Our Women in the Driving Seat promotion with Alison Page’s Vauxhall dealer client Northern Motors Harrow was a great success, due in no small part to her thoroughness, attention to detail and general savoire faire. We have found her to be creative, helpful and can always be relied upon to get things done properly and on time, no matter what the circumstances. I look forward to working with her again in the future.” December 2010

    Adrian Foster, AVF Communications
  • “Dear Alison, editorial is great. I thought meeting was excellent. Your attention to detail and control of the agenda was most impressive. I am also very pleased and if I am totally honest surprised that you sing off more or less the hymn sheet as I do. I know where I want the company to go in the present climate and your thinking is in my view exactly right!! Kind regards and many thanks.” January 2011

    Roy Chapman, Roy Chapman Ltd

  • “I receive regular monthly newsletters as most of us do, but I only look forward to receiving one in particular, and enjoy reading the whole thing because it is well written, concise and informative. It was only recently that I discovered this newsletter is written by Alison, on behalf of her client. I feel this is a testimony in its own right, which is one of the reasons I am happy to recommend her services. I know that as well as being an expert marketeer, providing excellent service is also top of her priority list.” September 2011

    Sandra Swan, Swan Coaching
  • “Thank you so much for the time you have taken dealing with a general enquiry such as mine. If you put this amount of time and customer care with a simple enquiry I can only imagine that when you are dealing with your own clients your service is second to none and exceptional attention to detail. A business to recommend to newbies like myself or established businesses. Thankyou so much for the help and advice you have given me.” May 2012

    Sherall Smith, Pre-Start Up Accountancy Business
  • “Alison provides our business with sound marketing advice and has opened up opportunities through her contacts to extend the awareness of our brand and as a result help develop our fledgling business.” October 2012

    Toby Murray, Beechwood Fine Foods
  • “Thanks so much for all your brilliant work on the website and brochure. I’m so pleased with it all and I know that the reason getting it all done in such a pain-free manner was down to you managing the process. If it had been left to me, I’d still be feeling like I was having root canal work done! Will definitely be getting back to you soon to move on to the next stage…..” October 2012

    Natalie Reid-Hughes, Communique Associates
  • “You have done it again! Another great article in this week’s [Tring] gazette, resulting in two new customers through the door today.” October 2012

    Toby Murray, Beechwood Fine Foods
  • “I had a fixed amount of money that was available to modify and improve my website. Alison was very quick to understand what was needed and she was able to describe her ideas in easy to understand sentences. I know from experience that the user frequently does not get what they expect. I was never left in this awkward position. Alison and her software colleague changed my website so it looks much sharper and more professional. The work was completed on time and within my budget. Well done to both Alison and her colleague Louise. Thank you Patrick www.aid4disabled.com” January 2013

    Patrick Burke, Aid4Disabled
  • “Alison has made a big difference to my business. Alison understands the dynamics and constraints of a small business and the need for effective low cost solutions and it is a pleasure to work with her. Her recommendations and strategies have reduced my ongoing marketing costs by 50% and helped me develop a new revenue stream. By reviewing my enquiries, Alison has identified where my focus should be and has significantly reduced my cost per lead and left me with a simple system, which allows me to monitor and improve my lead generation. Alison has helped my business move forward and I would not hesitate in recommending Alison\'s services.” March 2013
