Working with the Bletchley Group can bring great resultsSince 2000 we’ve worked on many successful digital projects with a wide range of clients worldwide. This is what some of them say about Bletchley Group. DEWARS Scotch whisky “Bletchley Group led all the digital work for Dewars, leading in innovation both within the company, category in a global scope. They are culturally savvy, which facilitated their work with many countries, suppliers, in a seamless, professional way.” Maggie Matias, Global Brand Director, CAZADORES Tequila “Bletchley Group has open-minded and straightforward consultants who offer an informed expertise on marketing via the internet. In our case, they were a vital asset in terms of planning and strategy as part of a global team, as well as the execution and measurement of the actual consumer programming." Gonzalo de la Pezula, VP Group Marketing Director, Lombard Direct “Under Bletchley Group Group’s control, the Lombard internet project was efficiently run, well organised and managed. They also succeeded in maintaining the focus of the project team at the key milestones. The mechanics of the project (in terms of project plan, meeting outputs, risk register) were also consistently well maintained and circulated to the team. Their enthusiasm and commitment were central to the success of the project.” David McCreadie, Commercial Director, Bacardi Boutique - eCommerce Site “Bletchley Group brought expertise and skill to a project that would have taken a significant period to complete without them. They not only bought technical expertise, but also project management and contractual negotiation support. They are very easy people to deal with and work well with all levels in the organisation." Adam Hillyer, Global Marketing Services Director, Bombay Sapphire Gin “I have had the great pleasure and honour of working with Jim Stevenson, principal consultant at Bletchley Group, on an ongoing basis over the past eight months across some of our key global marketing initiatives. Jim brings with him great personal qualities of passion, a natural problem-solver instinct, strong personal values and integrity. Jim is a highly trustworthy/credible manager with the well-deserved reputation to bulldoze through corporate politics/bottle-necks to align disparate stakeholders and get the job done. Jim is also a very clear/strategic thinker who understands how brands work and comes with great insights on how to best amplify and achieve brand objectives across various digital touch-points. Most importantly, I have been very appreciative of Jim for the pivotal role he has played as senior consultant in shaping our overall thinking around the ‘role of digital’ and consequently being instrumental in helping the global brand team to redefine and improve the strategic framework of our global brand communication initiatives. I look forward to a continued working relationship with Jim and would recommend him to future clients without reservation.” Jett Yang, Global Marketing Manager, Own Brand Business, Royal Bank of Scotland “I’ve worked with Bletchley Group for the last six months and they have managed two large projects from inception to implementation. Both projects were delivered on time to a high standard in the face of a radically changing organisational structure. Their involvement in the projects has gone beyond pure management and has driven many of the solutions to the requirements. Jim has also defined both business and technology architecture solutions to some of the bigger issues we faced. He identified clear paths to implementation, balancing the commercial drivers for the projects with technical feasibility. He has an ability to recognise issues early and bring the relevant people together to work through the resolution. They have been a valuable asset to RBS in the short time he has been here and pioneered a very different approach to project delivery in a new organisation.” Ewan Robertson, Head of Business Development, HM Revenue and Customs “I worked with Jim Stevenson, managing director and principal consultant with Bletchley Group Group for 18 months in HMRC. Jim is a focused and result driven project manager. He's as comfortable with managing technical solution deliveries as he is with understanding, analysing and delivering business change objectives. As a team player he is always positive and determined to keep everyone focused on the job in hand. I give Jim and Bletchley Group my unreserved recommendation." Oystein Ulrichsen, Project Manager, Scottish Amicable (now Prudential) for ZEDA Ltd “The complexities and challenges presented by the set-up phase of the Scottish Amicable contract were all but overwhelming. Jim’s [Bletchley Group] ability to manage and deliver the working technical solution, office accommodation, team creation and induction, pull-through of billable work and close control of spending and budget has been outstanding. All of this was done with appropriate levels of visibility within ZEDA via reporting and meetings. Jim has formed a close working relationship with the key client representative and has proven both his own and ZEDA’s ability to respond positively to client requirements.” Carol Kemp, Operations Director, Own Brand Business, Royal Bank of Scotland "Since May, Bletchley Group has been consulting to OBB with management responsibility for the full lifecycle of:
The Internet project was delivered in October and now accounts for around 15% of the loan business. The collections project has also been successfully delivered resulting in significant process improvements through the automation of manual processes. Both projects had extremely tight timescales, but through the application of a disciplined and structured approach, Bletchley Group successfully managed the numerous threats, challenges and scope creep.” Rod Aird, Head of Change Management work24.co.uk “The quality of the work has greatly improved from my perspective since you and Goplan joined the team - so thanks very much for all of the hard work being done to help us meet our deadlines” Rhian John, Delivery Manager, |
