Some Recent Client Comments
‘The truth is, I could not have got through those terrible days without you. With the press hounding my family, you were always there, either at the end of the phone or in person, offering sound, professional advice and much needed emotional support – you went way beyond the call of duty.’
‘With years of experience in the world of communications, you couldn’t ask for a safer pair of hands than Abel. There are very few situations he hasn’t seen, meaning he keeps a cool head and is able to put clients immediately at ease. His advice is always rational and pragmatic, helping clients to take back control of the narrative. His collaborative approach to problem solving also makes him a pleasure to work with.’
‘Abel has three outstanding qualities: Firstly, he is a man of great integrity and honesty. Secondly, he has a very finely-tuned ability to match his very considerable experience and judgement in providing effective solutions, with discretion and sensitivity. Thirdly, Abel is, quite simply, one of the most amiable people with whom I have had the pleasure to work and get to know.’
‘I have known Abel for 25 years and have worked with him in three different businesses and as a fellow trustee on a charitable foundation. It is a mark of the man that in every instance when I require communications support, he has always been my “go to” solution. He spends time getting to understand the nature of the business and the challenges we face, and then applies a laser-like focus on detail as well as thinking out of the box and coming up with creative solutions. He is relentless in working through a plan, sometimes akin to a dog with a bone – I could not recommend him more highly.’
‘Faced with the potential of a social media onslaught, a legacy from my ancestors, I felt very alone and powerless about how to respond to impending media attention; whether to be pro-active with a statement, or simply to hide under the bed. I felt hugely reassured to receive a comprehensive and objective survey of all bubbling media platforms, and then be talked through the most effective response strategy, by someone clearly well versed in media and press management. My unfiltered personal reaction was then discussed and distilled into a pithy and controlled paragraph, which we both agreed answered the central questions without exposing or leading towards more uncomfortable lines of enquiry. I have no hesitation in recommending Abel as a calm and expert guide through the murky world of reputation management.’
‘I would like to thank you for your sound advice on this, you have helped me to get to the much improved position that we are in today.’
