Comments from our clients

From Macmillan Cancer Relief
"I wanted to thank... all at Cambridge Publishers for the tremendous work you have undertaken in relation Directory of Complementary Therapy Services in UK Cancer Care. We have already had some wonderful feedback on how well the directory is presented and how easy it is to use and navigate.

"It has been wonderful to have had the opportunity to work with you in producing such a worthwhile publication."
Dame Gill Oliver
Director of Service Development


From the Medical Protection Society
"The magazine [Casebook] has never looked better and I'm extremely grateful for your sensitive handling of the re-design. You've taken our overall presentation up quite a few notches already and I'm confident that, in your hands, Casebook's image will continue to improve.

"It was also a pleasant surprise for me to discover that Casebook's production phase could be expedited so smoothly... in the past I've found it a frustrating experience communicating with designers, maintaining quality standards and keeping production on schedule. This time it was virtually hassle-free and all credit is due to you, not only for managing the process with such efficiency but for your intelligent and thoughtful approach to the job."
Sandy Anthony
Editor


From the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development
"Cambridge Publishers produced the OECD Observer special Forum 2001 edition in May 2001. CPL produced a magazine for us in both English and French, keeping to strict deadlines... I was very quickly impressed by [the] company's professionalism and skill in terms of layout and artwork, as well as problem solving.

"CPL were at all times courteous in their dealings with us, were responsive to instructions, and yet were able to provide sound advice and take initiatives. Most of all, the end product was a transformation from previous editions of our magazine and to my mind was the best OECD Observer to date (the magazine was founded in 1962!). Indeed, it has set the pace for all OECD Observers since then.

"If we were dealing in contract publishing as before, I have no doubt that Cambridge Publishers would be our preferred candidate. I have no hesitation in recommending them for any publishing/communications projects."
Rory Clarke
Editor in Chief


From the National Operatic & Dramatic Association
"We are extremely pleased with the quality of... NODA National News and with the hard work and dedication shown by the team at Cambridge Publishers Ltd... our Council are extremely pleased that the magazine of an association for amateurs should look so professional."
Mark Pemberton
Chief Executive


From Breakthrough Breast Cancer
"This is just a quick note to say how pleased I am with the Annual Review. Everyone at Breakthrough is delighted; visually it looks great and very much captures the essence of the charity.

"Thank you very much for all the hard work that the team has put into this publication. I am very pleased with both the speed and quality of the production, and your advice and solutions have been invaluable.

"I would not hesitate to consider you for other publications, or to recommend you to others."
Alison Conneller
Publications Co-ordinator


From the Institute of Sport and Recreation Management
"On behalf of the Institute, I'd like to put on the record our thanks and appreciation for the great work... the CPL team have done on Recreation. The magazine is praised regularly by outsiders as well as by members, and is quite obviously a strong ambassador for ISRM. You have successfully evolved the design over the years, and its content is just what a professional organisation like ours needs to communicate effectively with the membership."
Ralph Riley
Chief Executive


From Pheonix International Publishing
"This is just a quick note to put on record our satisfaction with the work you've undertaken for us over the last three years. Cambridge Publishers are True professionals in their field, and you consistently deliver for us - on schedule - excellent design and production work. You are straight-talking, no-nonsense guys, who quite simply get the job done. We are very pleased with the relationship!"
Simon Todd
President


From the Central Computer and Telecommunications Agency
"I am writing...to thank you for the tremendous contribution Cambridge Publishers have made to the success of Tackling the Year 2000.

"Firstly, I would like to thank you for your 'editorial salvage' of the guides. As you well know, they were written at high speed. However, when I read the published guides I was surprised at how very readable they were...the finished product was excellent, and much of that was due in no small part to Cambridge Publishers.

"Secondly, I must mention the speed and flexibility with which the editing and printing was accomplished. We were working to a very tight deadline with little chance of succeeding. However, Cambridge Publishers responded magnificently to the challenge, and we met the deadline, albeit with little time to spare. We believe that this set of guides holds the CCTA record for speed of production and that was mainly due to Cambridge Publishers.

"Finally, I believe that the success of the guides is also partly due to the skilful marketing that has been conducted by Cambridge Publishers and its contractors...I certainly look forward to working with Cambridge Publishers again in the near future."
Mike Withey
CCTA Year 2000 Guidance Project Manager


From Guardian Newspapers Ltd
"This is just to thank Cambridge Publishers for the terrific consultancy work that you've done for The Observer this year. Managing the migration from Atex to QPS while at the same time completely revamping the way our sub-editing teams worked was a daunting task, but you managed it on schedule and with minimum fuss.

"Nearly six months on, both the new system and the pooling arrangement are firmly bedded in and we're able to fully appreciate your achievement in shepherding all this through. We really couldn't have done it without you."
Lucy Heller
Managing Editor


From the Higher Education Careers Service Unit
"From the outset, [CPL's] smooth project management left me with complete confidence in your ability to deliver all...items on time. I was particularly impressed with your ability to take a rough verbal brief and turn it into a design which neatly fitted the project requirements.

"Your staff were a delight to work with and your customer service skills second to none. We shall certainly be working with you again."
Julie Ingham
Marketing Communications Manager, CSU


From the Department for International Development
"You came highly recommended to us by CCTA... nevertheless, we did invite tenders for the Handbook from other concerns as well as you. You won, not only on price, but because you were more helpful, giving us a lot of advice and ideas on how best to proceed... we needed a product that would withstand not just the tea stains of Whitehall but monsoons, dust storms, termites and tropical mildews...

"We were very pleased with the Handbook, and although we have had no reports I am sure that the termites... found it a grave disappointment. On the basis of that experience we asked you to do the Supporting Guides for us... again we found your advice very helpful, and you were able to produce for us a single manageable volume instead of the 13 separate ones... that we had been thinking of earlier. You were also very good at meeting our deadlines - much better, in fact, than we were.

"You led us to a practical and useful design, at reasonable cost; you made sure the work was done on time, and you gave us a handsome product."
Colin Roth
Government and Institutions Department, DFID


From The Conservation Foundation
"Network 21 has now been distributed around the world and I am delighted to report that I am getting excellent responses from readers. I am sure when I get a comment referring to our 'gorgeous' magazine from the Ukraine, that this refers very much to the quality of design and colour which is thanks to you and your team.

"Thank you for your... support and enthusiasm for this project, which I believe can become a major element of the Foundation."
David Shreeve
Executive Director


From National Westminster Bank
"I just wanted to thank... your team for the excellent work you have delivered on the latest edition of the Small Business Guide to External Communications. I am very pleased with what you have given us and I am sure that it will be of considerable benefit to our people in the front line.

"The writing is as strong as usual, but it is the technically innovative side of this project which particularly appeals to me. The functionality you have created, whereby the reader is guided from one relevant section to another in a most user-friendly way... sets this CD aside.

"[I am aware] of the very long hours you were all prepared to put in to help us overcome the challenges we faced. It also pleases me that this ground-breaking piece of work was delivered on time and to budget."
Peter Ibbetson
Head of Small Business Services


From the Association of Business Executives
"I would like to say how pleased I am with the ABE Prospectus produced by Cambridge Publishers. It is beyond my expectations. I am proud to see that ABE now has a high-quality marketing tool... which we can use for exhibitions and enquiries for attracting prospective students, business partners and colleges."
John Towers
Executive Secretary


From the Genetic Interest Group
"Many thanks for your help in the design, production and publication of the resource pack for siblings of people with genetic disorders. At GIG, we are very pleased with the final product.

"The service offered by Cambridge Publishers has been excellent, from the initial discussions to delivery of the packs. Congratulations on getting them to our offices even earlier than scheduled!

"I was particularly impressed by the... interest you took to understand all aspects of the project. The constructive criticism, offered with humour, was much appreciated.

"As you know, this was my first attempt at producing a booklet - your involvement made it pleasurable and a good learning experience. I will certainly get back to you on future projects and would recommend your services highly to anyone else."
Aamra Darr
Research and Development Officer


From the Federation of Small Businesses
"Congratulations on another excellent issue of First Voice. Under Cambridge Publishers it has certainly become the most professional publication that the FSB produces, and I know from my own experience as Chairman of Recruitment that our recruiting teams are for the first time in many years proud to offer the magazine to prospective members as a real benefit. Keep up the good work!"
John Emmins
Director
