''When I was referred to Richard, I was 18 months into my business and still felt like I didn't know the basics. I lacked clarity in my brand message, struggled to focus on what I truly offered and felt unsure about how to communicate it effectively. Working with Richard has been an enlightening journey.
As a mentor and sounding board, he provided the accountability I needed to stay on track. Richard also gave me great advice on social media and how to get my message across in a way that truly resonates.Thanks to his support, I now feel more focused, confident and aligned with my business than ever before. I highly recommend working with Richard if you want to gain clarity, build confidence and take your business to the next level.''

“I was introduced to him through a recommendation, and from our very first conversation, he approached things differently from everyone else I had worked with.
He didn’t just offer advice; he listened. Instead of telling me what to do, he asked thoughtful, insightful questions that helped shape a strategy that worked for me, my business, and my commitments.
Before working with him, I felt like I was throwing spaghetti at the wall, hoping something would stick. It was overwhelming. But now I have solid foundations, a clear direction, and a strategy that actually works - not just in digital marketing but in how I approach my entire business.
One of the most significant lightbulb moments has been learning the power of repetition - sharing my message in different ways, through video, carousels, and testimonials. The difference has been brilliant. Since working with Richard, people finally get what I do; that clarity has had a huge impact.
Beyond all of this, Richard is more than just a marketing expert - he’s become a trusted sounding board. His guidance keeps me grounded, focused, and aligned with my vision.
I am so grateful for his support and the confidence he has helped me build. Thank you Richard ''Ellie Lloyd-Jones

“For years I have been approaching my marketing in a piecemeal fashion, doing a bit here and there as time allowed. I was never happy and my to-do list just kept growing.
After co-hosting a webinar with Richard I decided to ask him for help structuring my approach, I was confident we would work well together.
Over six months and eight meetings Richard has guided me to build a marketing plan that I like. It reflects me, the value I bring and my values. No one-size fits all approach or solutions.
One of the things I appreciated most is how Richard answered my questions and worked with what I have already built. He would sit back (literally and metaphorically), reflect, and make suggestions. He often had ideas that I would never have generated myself or have got from marketing consultants that deliver a fixed package.
He helped me refine my website, newsletters and ICP. But more importantly, he has given me a sound basis for further development. Marketing isn’t an instant results-driven process like sales, but I can see clear improvements in my communications and confidence.
Before working with Richard, I felt overwhelmed and unsure of my path. While I still have a lot to do, I have a clear direction and a structured plan.
His guidance has helped me move forward with confidence. I am happy to recommend Richard and his coaching services to anyone who has already started their marketing and needs refinement to reach the next level.”Michelle Spaul

‘‘Like many of his clients, I had tried several other ways of marketing my business with mixed results and at a high cost per customer.
I wanted to expand my business by winning larger commercial contracts in the Construction and IT infrastructure sectors and no longer be 'on the tools' full time.
I have exceeded my goals. We have some challenging targets for next year and I'm looking forward to beating them again!!
Richard has worked very closely with me and he quickly identified that the best way to grow my business was using Linkedin to complement my business networking at BNI.
I'm now posting high-quality engaging content on Linkedin, I have more than doubled my network of targeted connections and most importantly landed some key customers. I'm now using Linkedin and Facebook to help me recruit team members too.
I'm extremely busy and growing a business very quickly so it's great that Richard helps me stay focussed, keep things in perspective and gives great advice. He is a key member of my team and a trusted business adviser.
If you are a business owner who wants to take your business to the next level I strongly recommend you speak to Richard ‘'

We brought Richard in to help with the strategy and structure of our Digital Marketing activities in October 2022.
We had already embarked on a programme to grow, focusing on becoming the leading Business to Business Telecoms provider in our Region.
Richard worked hard with our chosen Digital Marketing services partner to help identify areas of improvement. He also helped point us in the right direction with automation using ZOHO.
We also needed help with our internal focus and motivation. He is very knowledgeable and experienced and has been key to us rediscovering our 'mojo'.
We knew that to hit our targets, we needed to be very closely involved and hands-on with our content creation and engagement even though we have a good Digital Marketing Services provider.
Richard's work has helped remind us how important that is. We feel happy and confident with our future growth plans and look forward to working with him again soon.''

“As a Global heating hot water and renewables market expert with more than 30+ years of guiding Businesses and Investors in the transformation of the industry. I wanted to use my experience as a former Director of Bosch Thermotechnology, ICOM and Rinnai Corporation of Japan to develop my client base and help heating and hot water businesses adapt to a zero-carbon future.
Richard was recommended to me by the local Chamber of Commerce in 2020. I wanted his advice on how best to reach my target clients in a challenging post-pandemic landscape. I knew that my digital profiles needed a revamp, my skills needed a refresh and that I needed help to understand how to use LinkedIn more effectively.
The first thing Richard did was to show me that my LinkedIn profile needed to reflect my skills and experience more effectively and be focused on my target clients. I am now posting high-quality engaging content on LinkedIn, I have increased my network from 350 to over 2,000 targeted connections and most importantly I have acquired some key clients using the techniques he showed me.
My LinkedIn profile is now where my clients and potential clients can see how I can help them. It gives them reassurance that I have the experience and expertise to guide them through the transformation of the industry to 'net-zero carbon. Richard helps me stay motivated and focused on my digital marketing goals.
If you are a consultant who needs help growing your client base, I strongly recommend you speak to Richard”

“At Calvin Marketing we often engage external expertise to supplement our highly skilled in house team.
Richard started working with us in the last 18 months or so. We had a project in a market where Richard had particular expertise that we needed content creating for and we also wanted a second opinion on the digital marketing strategy we were using.
Richard wrote some engaging content and helped us deliver excellent results for our client. His experience and knowledge also helped us shape our digital strategy for that project. It's good to have Richard as a sounding board and we're looking forward to working on other projects with him in the future.
We have no hesitation in recommending him to other marketing professionals or direct clients..’’

“In late 2017 we had opened a new office in the centre of Chester and wanted to enhance brand awareness for the Rosebridge brand. Richard helped identify a clear plan and an in-house Social Media policy that was FCA compliant. The business has really grown strongly since I am very happy to recommend Richard to any business that wants to develop their online marketing to boost to raise their brand awareness.’’
