What clients say

  • The Handy Marketing Company were recommended to me when we were struggling to recruit. Clair was a delight to work with, knowledgeable, personable, enthusiastic and responsive. Trying to keep things going when you're a team member down can be tough but Clair made it as easy as possible, providing flexibility and a guiding hand as to how to spend our limited budget wisely. She also helped to induct and support the new recruit providing continuity and maintaining quality. I would not hesitate to recommend her and she remains firmly in my contacts should I find myself in the same situation again or have the budget to involve her in specific projects. Everyone needs a Clair in their life.

    Donna Talbot Arthur Rank Hospice Charity

  • Clair has been an absolute superstar, who has been a pleasure to work with. Her expertise, along with her drive and enthusiasm meant that transitioning across to The Handy Marketing Company was seamless. Clair has excellent ideas, and the knowledge to implement them, whilst taking the pressure off and enabling me to do my day job. I highly recommend Clair and The Handy Marketing Company.

Questions from Thetford businesses

Do you work with businesses in Thetford?

Yes. We support businesses in Thetford and across the Brecks and South Norfolk. We're based in Bury St Edmunds, so we know the area well.

We've tried marketing before and it didn't work. Why would this be different?

Marketing often fails because it isn't joined up or aimed at the right people. We start by understanding your customers and goals, so every activity has a clear purpose and a way to measure it.

Can you deliver the plan as well?

Yes. We can support with delivery ourselves or bring in specialists from The Handy Network, or simply hand you the plan to run in-house.
