| Diana Jakubowska – Head of Communications at Cambridgeshire and Peteborough NHS Foundation Trust
“Patrick came to work for us for three months to help launch a brand new service in a new area. There was a great deal of unknown territory, some big relationship building to be done and a heavy implementation plan to communicate. We were delighted with what Patrick did for us. Through him we achieved the project on time and built great relationships with the local media, which resulted in excellent coverage. Patrick also established very good relationships with a wide range of important stakeholders that have been critical in subsequent negotiations. We would have no hesitation in using him again when we wanted attention to detail and total commitment to the successful outcome of a project.”
Mike Stonard – former Chief Executive of Suffolk West Primary Care Trust and Great Yarmouth and Waveney Primary Care Trust
“Patrick provided comprehensive media support to two NHS Trusts of which I was Chief Executive. This included successfully supporting us through a large scale public consultation on a contentious major service reorganisation. On a day to day basis Patrick supported the development and implementation of some very effective public health campaigns which were key to the Trust's strategic objectives, targeting one of the most deprived populations in England, and he worked with us to raise our local media profile successfully and to respond appropriately and effectively to daily media issues. I would have no hesitation in working with him again".
Martin Russ – Managing Director at Wardale Williams
"Patrick has worked hard to ensure that our PR messages have been written in such a way to maximise local media exposure. His contacts with numerous publications has also worked in our favour. We will continue our working relationship with him and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to others - except our competitors!"
Vicki Arrowsmith – Managing Director at Girl Friday’s home services company
“When I launched Girl Friday’s early in 2009 I approached Patrick about helping me to establish a brand identity and some marketing materials, and he turned out to be a tremendous choice. Patrick built the brand and identity concept for Girl Friday’s, which I am sure helped me to establish the business leading to a first year level of success beyond my wildest dreams. He also produced the copy for a range of marketing material including my business cards, business strapline, posters, corporate uniforms and stationary. Patrick has a wonderful ability to turn my thoughts into clear and powerful messages.”
Mark Prentice - former Director at Geronimo Communications
“I was Patrick’s line manager for three years. He was always a very conscientious, driven and reliable performer. He had first rate media handling skills and a fantastic track record of gaining positive publicity for clients. He was also a very steady and safe pair of hands when it came to issues and crisis management.”
Bryce Clare – Project lead at NHS Commissioning Support for London
“I would like to express my appreciation for the contribution Patrick Lowman made to the London New Medicines and Treatments Project. As an Interim Stakeholder Engagement Manager he facilitated a series of events and communications with a competency that indicates a great deal of knowledge and experience. His excellent contribution has been widely acknowledged and much appreciated.”
Hassan Choudhury, Clinical Informatics Team Leader and Business Analyst for London’s Quality Initiative
“I was impressed with Patrick. He handled our stakeholder engagement for the London region's Quality Initiative all by himself. It quickly became clear he was calm under pressure, a safe pair of hands, with a lot of experience to boot. It is a shame we couldn't hold onto him. I would not hesitate to hire him again for media and engagement work and wish him the best.”
Sue Warren, Managing Director at Simply PR
"I worked with Patrick when he was an Account Manager at Geronimo Communications. I found Patrick to be professional, knowledgeable and, because of his journalist background, very media savvy. He was a valued member of our team, liked by clients and a pleasure to work with."
Tony Cole – Managing Director at The Timesharemart
“I use Patrick to write my digital press releases. He is a first rate wordsmith who can get to the heart of the matter in a few carefully constructed sentences. His work has increased my online presence and raised the profile of my business. Ultimately, this has helped me to attract new business and increase profit. Patrick represents excellent value for money, and quite simply, I would be foolish not to continue to use him.” |
