What our clients say
“With their evident wealth of hands-on experience, Craigmyle provided the structure within which we were able to move forward the whole fundraising process.”
Jill Low, former Director, Salisbury Arts Centre
“A huge thanks for all your help and support, which is never assumed and always appreciated. It’s good fun working with you and your injection of enthusiasm is always a welcome relief.”
Bryan Brown, former Development Director, Hampton School
“I would like to put on record the tremendous debt St Paul’s School owes you and Craigmyle for the extraordinary success of this campaign. When a glamorous new skyscraper goes up, you see the outside, not the metal skeleton that holds it up. Craigmyle were that foundation.”
Dr Martin Stephen, former High Master, St Paul’s School
“Having worked with Craigmyle… I can honestly think of nobody else who can provide the know-how, the support and the clear approach that they brought. Remember that even in troubled economic times it is extraordinary what can be achieved with a clear vision, positive leadership and collaboration from all.”
Kevin Ronaldson, Chairman of the Cirencester Parish Church Campaign
“I would like to thank you personally for the pivotal role you have played in supporting all of us with advice, good humour and a willingness to tell us (well, me) when fantastic ideas we have might need a bit more thinking to make them work. The result has been an extremely professional and successful campaign.”
Ian McLintock, former Chief Executive, Agecare
“Many of us approached the idea of professional fundraising consultants with much scepticism and firmly believed that we knew better just how things were done in Jersey. But [Craigmyle’s] quiet professionalism and lack of hard sell won us over and they were appointed as advisors to the Campaign.
“There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that the strategies suggested to us by Craigmyle have been crucial in the success of the campaign. Examples are the personal approach to potential donors before the campaign launch, the management of information so that people always want more. The final proof of the pudding, as far as we are concerned, is that a campaign for £850,000 has now raised over £1,100,000 in a little over twelve months and the goodwill for the school from the ‘Victorian’ community has been enhanced in the process.”
Richard Pirouet, Chairman of the Board of Governors of Victoria College, Jersey
“I never wanted to be the chief fundraiser for our £1.8m project, but Craigmyle made my life and task so much easier and more pleasant than I had expected. They guided us all the way, with particular success in fundraising from our congregation. The external fundraising has been more difficult, no doubt due to the present economic climate, but even then we would not have had the success we have without their detailed advice on who and how to approach.”
Howard Marsh, Chairman of the Christ Church, Purley, Transformations Appeal
