Testimonials from our valued clients worldwide

• Straightforward answers to complex challenges

  “Oliver grasps issues, understands the implications and constructs imaginative and cost effective solutions which he drives to a conclusion either by himself or by leveraging the talents of a team - he herds cats. 
In particular I have worked with him on a sensitive and relatively controversial public policy campaign with gratifyingly effective results over a ten-year period. 
I would have no hesitation in recommending Oliver in seeking straightforward answers to complex challenges.”
  

  Nick Bish, Association of Licensed Multiple Retailers

• Outstanding piece of work

  “Carol and her team delivered an outstanding piece of audience development work, which formed the backbone of our successful £1m Heritage Lottery Fund bid. Carol brought incredible insight and experience to the project which she approached with exuberant energy and enthusiasm. Working with Carol, we were able to bounce ideas, explore opportunities and push boundaries – and the quality of our project is testimony to [Powering Partnership’s] excellent approach. We immediately appointed Carol and her team for a second piece of consultancy work; and I look forward to another opportunity to work with them again."
  

  Kay Clark, Wildscreen

• Above and beyond what we expected

  “I’ve been working with Powering Partnerships for over 5 years now, and have thoroughly enjoyed every project. Both Oli and Carol are great to work with and they always deliver work that is above and beyond what we expected. The insights and analysis they have provided over the years has helped us to better understand how to grow the value and mutual benefit from working in partnership on corporate social responsibility initiatives, and I truly believe we are in a stronger position with our approach to partnerships as a result of our work together.”

• Getting buy-in to complex issues and programmes

  “Oliver is incredibly astute and very capable of getting others to understand and buy-in to often complex issues and programmes. He has also managed very large initiatives across different sectors extremely effectively.”
  

  Martin Summers, BP

• Invigorating and motivating

  “Carol helped us to shape and define what we wanted to do to build our corporate strategy and the practical steps to achieving it. It was a really invigorating and motivating experience with lots of creativity and laughter, and especially useful for an environmental organisation that punches above its weight.”
  

  Sara Oldfield, BGCI

• PP created and ran a really engaging fundraising workshop for us.

  "They used practical exercises to put us into the mindsets of possible funders and how they might see us, and explored how we could present ourselves to get a better return for our efforts. Everyone came away feeling far more confident about how to make 'the ask'. We would recommend Powering Partnerships to anyone in the charitable sector who wants to build their confidence, focus and funding."
  

  Jessica Kennedy, Development Coordinator, The Forum

• Rigorous and well-targeted insights

  “Powering Partnerships conducted a rigorous and well-targeted insights-gathering process, resulting in highly actionable insights. This is helping to inform the way in which we manage our engagement with external partners.”
  

  Bianca Shead, SABMiller

• Unlocked our potential

  "You enabled us to take a step back and really see it from the perspective of what our supporters think and want….saved us a huge amount of time…[and have helped] an experienced group of fundraisers unlock their potential for greater income generation.”
