It’s always encouraging when colleagues and clients take the time and trouble to say nice things about the work we’ve done on their behalf. Here are some of the comments which have been made spontaneously about HJCL and our work in the last couple of years.

I wanted to send an e-mail of thanks for the outstanding presentation you provided at this year’s New Perspectives in Ophthalmology meeting and also the fantastic discussion that you clearly promoted post your talk around the NICE guidance in Glaucoma. We had positive feedback from your session and I think it met all pre-specified objectives from a marketing perspective. We also had many requests for your slides as they were seen to cover the guidance and its use concisely but also accurately. I look forward to working with you in the future. (Marketing Manager, Pharmaceutical Company)

It gives me great pleasure to provide you with an award of our appreciation for your hard work and dedication in support of the NICE review. You played an integral role in achieving a positive outcome and your efforts and expertise are truly appreciated. Please accept the enclosed as a token of our sincere congratulations for a job well done! (Vice President of a Global Pharmaceutical Partnership)

Yesterday started with TV coverage, ended with TV coverage and in between we had such a wonderful event. What a day it was! Thank you so much for all your hard work in making the event yesterday such a success. I do hope you enjoyed it as much as I did and as much as your broad smile suggested. The stickers and crackers were a big hit – great idea. It was so good to see so many of parliamentarians at the event and it seemed to me they too were having a good time. All the young people were stars, but Charlotte and Katie showed such courage in sharing their stories. I am sure everyone who heard their stories would work to ensure that all such youngsters can have access to good care and treatment. Now for all the follow-up! Once again, thanks for all the work you put into making yesterday so memorable for everyone. (Chief Executive, National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society)

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for all your hard work and preparation which went into delivering such an excellent training session on Wednesday! The feedback has been fantastic – so thank you! (Divisional Director, Huntsworth Health)

A big THANK YOU for all your extremely hard work over the last three weeks, Helen. The project was a first for all of us and the NOF is incredibly grateful to you for all your dedication over the last few months. It really wouldn’t have happened, never mind run smoothly, without your efficiency. (Acting Chief Executive, National Obesity Forum)

The guys in the US LOVED the work you did for us on oncology – thanks so much for all your input. (Account Director, Chandler Chicco Agency)

Just a quick note to properly thank you for all your work at short notice over the last few days – the way you turn things around is truly fantastic. (Account Director, Chandler Chicco Agency)

I thoroughly enjoyed Tuesday evening, and am delighted with your huge contribution to a successful launch. My intent for the group was always to make changes in high places and I never expected them after one meeting. (Chair, National Obesity Forum)

Thanks for all the help you have been in this. I think that everyone involved was very impressed by your advice and contribution, and I’m sure that we will work together in future. (External Relations Officer, Society for Endocrinology)
