Re-naming and re-branding a public organisation is complex work, and coming up with ideas to re-launch a hundred year old traditional Grammar School into the 21st century is no easy task. But Gallant Marketing developed and delivered a personalised project with creativity and flair. Chris works with utmost professionalism and his friendly nature makes him approachable and enjoyable to work with. He has in-depth knowledge of marketing and offers innovative solutions to a range of problems. I would strongly recommend Chris to anyone who wants to re-energise a long established and successful brand.

I really enjoy working with Chris. He offers some great contacts and ideas and provides an excellent insight into the school travel industry as well as an understanding of what teachers want and need. He is very organised, with a focus on attention to detail and ensuring deadlines are met. He goes the extra mile to make sure this happens, which offers real peace of mind when working on a project together. Working with Chris has meant a speedy improvement to our marketing initiatives. Our recent brochure, for example has delivered some of the best results we have seen in years! His greatest strength is his ability to build rapport quickly and bring out the best in people, drawing out what is at the heart of a company’s ethos and ensuring this is communicated effectively. For us, this has meant that good ideas have become a reality quickly and efficiently, and most importantly that we have achieved some incredible results.

Gallant Marketing has been hugely beneficial in helping us to focus our always overstretched resources on areas that will generate most sales. The marketing planning process made us view our business differently and really helped us to prioritise. We now have a clear road map for development that we are in full control of and we can call on Chris for help when we need it. A truly flexible partnership that is working brilliantly; my biggest challenge is finding time for marketing meetings around all the sales visits I’m attending!
- Simon Lowe, Managing Director, Handsam Ltd
Chris brought a refreshing approach to the development of our marketing strategy whilst using his knowledge and skills to drive us forward he remained adaptable to our own specific needs. His ability to turn round specific projects in short times and to retain an eye for detail is of great credit it to him. I look forward to working with Chris again in the future.

I have worked closely with Chris on client activity over a number of years. Chris not only brings his extensive strategic marketing expertise to any piece of work he undertakes – his approach is also marked with energy, enthusiasm and a sense of real personal commitment. Needless to say this makes him a great operator to work with, whether as a client or work colleague.

Chris is a fantastic person to work with. He has one of those rare combinations of creativity, unquestionable marketing skill, level headedness and total trustworthiness. I have never seen him fazed by any situation and he always produces quality work. If you are looking for someone in which you can trust and depend on to deliver fantastic marketing support or consultancy then I would 100% recommend Chris.

I have known Chris for about 10 years, and during this time have worked with him on numerous projects, I would have no hesitation in recommending Chris who has a very professional approach to business and a very keen eye for accuracy as well as bieng a pleasure to work with.
- Richard Chalkley, Print Consultant, Gemini Press
Chris is a talented, hardworking marketing professional. During my time working with Chris he was both my Head of Marketing and also the MD of one of my subsidiary companies. He is highly creative but very level headed, especially in pressurised situations. When we were in times of difficulty Chris was always one member of my team I would turn to for advice and support.
Good at his job and great fun to work with I would recommend Chris to any management team especially SME businesses looking to develop their brand and marketing strategy.
