7Y Services Ltd
“Rubus' involvement has been transformational for our business, leading us to develop into new markets and extend our reach into a new customer base. Rubus was engaged at every point in the process from facilitating an analysis of our market to refreshing our brand to appeal to a new marketplace whilst retaining the goodwill of our legacy customers. What we get from Rubus is the advice we need, not necessarily what we want to hear. Their input is focussed and pro-active, exactly what is needed from your professional advisors. ”

Community Network South West
“Consultants were genuinely enthused by the feasibility study; with a real interest in the subject matter, which I feel came across at meetings.”

Shropshire County Council
“Rubus helped to pull together a wide variety of intelligence and information, held by a number of organisations and individuals, that we had not got the in-house capacity to compile together and draw conclusions from ourselves... This piece of work really helped to move the Worklessness Group forward in actually planning how they were going to jointly tackle the issues raised in the NESPs, rather than just talking about them!”

Staffordshire and Stoke on Trent Consortium of Infrastructure Organisations
“The whole atmosphere in the Consortium has changed positively and dramatically over the last few weeks, and one of the central reasons for that is the professional, challenging and thoroughly inspired way Rubus pulled together a mish-mash of ideas into a coherent set of structures and processes that people can understand and buy into.”

J&E Page (Distributors)
Rubus helped J&E Page (Distributors) create a new range of marketing materials to address established and emerging UK markets, with a particular focus on Fairtrade and ethical business. Says Gina Quan, Special Projects Manger
“It's been a breath of fresh air to work with such a professional and enthusiastic team. Rubus delivered on its promises and exceeded expectations by helping and advising with ideas outside our original remit. Developing ideas has been both fun and inspirational, whilst remaining clearly focused on the commercial benefits to our business.”

“I enjoyed working with Rubus because in order to get value for money I had to focus on key areas of our operation. It also gave me the opportunity to explore issues with people who were informed, knowledgeable and independent/unbiased/objective.”

Worcester City Council
“You were very passionate and animated, which helped us to believe real change for the better could actually happen. By having you as professional and independent facilitators at the away day we were able to reach key decisions in a relatively short space of time. Your pre-work and well-written report have also contributed to the value of those decisions.”

Bromsgrove District Council
“The entire experience was positive from the first meeting. Rubus were willing to listen to our requirements and turned them into a challenging event which resulted in some decisions being made about how to move the LSP forward positively.”

Herefordshire Council
“Rubus' flexibility in helping to define our modus operandi and meet the needs of the situation was key to the success of the project. There were two distinct phases in the work carried out: community engagement, enabling us to get our proposition to the right people; and community development, helping communities to bid for an Access Point. Rubus' skills in both areas helped the project to be cost efficient and keep within the funders' budget. Rubus has the skills and experience to challenge the project team's thinking and the personalities to get to a good outcome.”
