Business Development Advice for Cheshire's Gardens of Distinction

Client: Visit Chester & Cheshire 
In conjunction with work on best practice in garden attractions in the UK and economic impact assessments, we provided business diversification and product development (mainly in retailing and catering activity) advice for Tatton Park, Capesthorne Hall, and Norton Priory Museum and Gardens, and prepared a successful retail improvement grant from the Esme Fairburn Foundation for Norton Priory.

Interim Marketing Manager - The Shakespeare Houses

Client: The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, Stratford-upon-Avon, Warks
In late 2006, we were appointed by the Trust to provide marketing management cover whilst their manager was on 12 months maternity leave. We focused on the delivery of the 2007 Marketing plan for the five Shakespeare Houses in and around Stratford upon Avon, which included re-branding and design of the Houses’ promotional leaflets, the launch of a new microsite for their visitor market, and the opening of Palmers Farm at Mary Arden's House.

This is just a very small sample of the projects we have successfully delivered over the past few years. We have been delighted to work with many more tourism, cultural heritage and leisure organisations of varying sizes, nationwide, including:
Ironbridge Gorge Museums Trust; Northern Ireland Tourist Board; Destination Worcestershire; Warner Hotel & Wildlife Park; Red Carnation Hotels London; Coughton Court; Forge Mill Museum & Bordesley Abbey Visitor Centre; Avoncroft Museum of Historic Buildings; Heritage Motor Centre, Gaydon; Visit Wiltshire Tourism Partnership; Redditch Borough Council; Tamworth Castle; Shakespeare Country; Gloucester Museums; Warwick Castle; Barbergh District Council; East Midlands Tourism.
