WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY.
"Spacecraft Consulting has advised The Oxford Trust on PR and communications, brand strategy, a branding revise and the marketing of our two innovation centres in Oxford.
"Thanks to Olivia, the Trust now has greater brand awareness in the Oxfordshire region and a thriving community of science and tech start-ups in our innovation centres." Steve Burgess, CEO, The Oxford Trust |
"Spacecraft Consulting began working with Tungsten Properties in 2018 and since then has become a valued member of our wider external team. Spacecraft has frankly helped Tungsten to move up to the next level by further defining the brand, generating a consistent marketing message, and through a successful PR strategy.
"These measures have given Tungsten significantly more prominence and credibility in the market place, which ultimately has allowed Tungsten to expand its business." Jeff Penman, Tungsten Properties Ltd |
"Headley Court, an estate encompassing 82 acres, has been a centre for the medical rehabilitation for members of the armed forces since 1949 and source of great pride to the local population. It was therefore with some apprehension that the news was received that the facility was to be moved in 2018 to a new development in the the East Midlands and the Headley Court estate would be sold.
"Trustees were concerned to minimise the public relations impact within the local community and engaged Spacecraft Consulting Ltd to act on their behalf. "The sale process was not without its difficulties with trustees having to reach an accommodation with the tenant, the buyer, local government and the local population. In that the process was successfully completed in April of 2019 without any adverse publicity bears testament to the work of Olivia Lane-Nott who ensured that all parties, not least the buyer, were consulted at all stages. "Her sympathetic yet determined approach ensured that the best interests of the Trustees were met at all times." Air Vice Marshal Anthony J Stables Chairman of Headley Court Charity |
"Patrick worked alongside Engine Development staff at Indycar races and at the factory to support the Lotus teams. He is a dedicated, professional and capable engineer and was an asset to the project."
