We were offered a client orientated adaptable service coupled with a no nonsense approach to the issues.        They say it like they see it. Bill also brought a
huge amount of knowledge and innate understanding of our challenges which meant we hit the ground running in terms of problem solving.

Bill Gray has an uncanny ability to ‘read’ commercial situations and opportunities. Managing to mix a creatively and commercially driven project with a leadership approach and the hands-on practical experience of someone who has genuinely built a
successful business from the ground up.

Graymatters invaluable knowledge of building a brand and a marketing strategy has given us a platform for long term development of the company. His advice and guiding hand proved invaluable through the early months of the company.

Bill has worked with the Globe over a period of two years on a number of consultancy projects. What is particularly impressive is his ability not only to identify problems on a strategic level but also to apply practical skills and experience, delivering real improvements to business needs. His involvement with the Globe has contributed greatly to an increase in our turnover.     Moreover he has an empathy for the Globe's work and culture which has allowed him to engage with people at all levels within the organisation.
Andrew Macnair, Marketing Director,
Shakespears's Globe

We decided to consult Graymatters in order to help us promote ourselves more effectively and create new areas of growth. Bill delivered a point-by-point programme of action; and as a direct consequnce of his advice we have broken into several new and lucrative markets. We have also infinitely improved our offer to our established entertainment client base that has shown an impressive growth in sales.
    Bill is clearly an extremely creative and approachable professional with impressive marketing knowledge. I would certainly recommend him to anyone wishing to think out of the square.

Bill and his team have the creativity, enthusiasm and business skills to create or refresh a brand image with finely tuned robust solutions to a company's needs and seemingly for any size of business activity. My firm is a niche professional practice which lives or dies on its marketing and brand awareness.

    Bill has given us a brand edge that I was in despair of finding having looked long and hard before he stepped over our threshold.
Peter Watson, Chairman, Flick and Son

Having worked in the industry for many years Bill had an innate understanding of our business and the challenges facing it and the solutions required. He tells it as he sees it and doesn't waste time with jargon or semantics.

When I first met Bill, I was very impressed with the way he went about tackling an immensely challenging business turnaround brief.

    We invited Graymatters to work with The Globe on a business development initiative we had been struggling to get off the ground for some months. Since Bill became involved, the project has very rapidly progressed to the launch pad and is now poised for take-off.
    Bill’s energy, enthusiasm and keen focus has turned the project into a viable reality which has been the catalyst we needed to move things on.
Graeme Wallace, Chief Operating Officer,
Shakespeare's Globe, London

Graymatters made marked differences to our marketing function, making the department self-financing.

   Graymatters insight and approach has been particularly useful as you have cast a fresh eye over our operations. I have greatly enjoyed working with you.
Andy Lown, Senior Vice President, Tower Records, Europe

Bill combines endless enthusiasm, energy, imagination and innovation in equal amounts. He inspires you with confidence to challenge the new and leave the competition behind.

    He's not only a true professional but great fun to work with.
