Rich was a true professional from the outset, fully immersed himself with the key information and for such a tight turnaround simply smashed it out of the park. He was constantly keeping my team abreast of developments, handling all enquiries and above all our client was delighted. I would highly recommend Rich 100%!

We used Rich's skills to raise our company profile and increase our reach. Richards blend of proactive and reactive approaches steadily increased our exposure, including: establishing our content in several leading publications, developing better SEO, backlinks and ultimately more recognition on search engines. 

​We operate in a competitive & congested market, so developing a unique profile and standing out from the crowd is crucial and Rich helped us to achieve this.

Rich has been absolutely brilliant with his expertise and support throughout. We really benefited from his large network of contacts and because of all the work Rich has done we have really raised the profile of our charity. This year we have had more applications from charity partners wanting to work with us. Would highly recommend and look forward to working with twofirst again in the near future.

Rich has been instrumental in getting the word out about our small, volunteer-run charity, CareDogs. Having Rich onboard has been a real gamechanger in increasing awareness about what we do and helping us offer our service to more people.

​He's kindly shared his vast expertise and network with us, helping us produce snappy press releases which have so far gotten us coverage as far as the national 6PM news! Thank you again for being part of our story - and helping us get our stories out there.

Rich has been supportive from the very beginning. As a newly founded startup, we were lucky to benefit from his relationship and his reach without huge investments. Truly invaluable for us and we look forward to continue working with him moving forward.

I’ve worked with Rich on a number of communications projects over the last few years ranging from press releases, articles and blogs. I’ve always found him to be insightful and able to craft really strong and interesting messaging for each project briefed to him. The work Rich has produced has consistently been of a high standard and has always been delivered to deadline. I would have no hesitation in recommending him.
