"As economic Development Adviser for South Taranaki District Council I manage the process of at least five business education seminars annually.
Over the last four years I have utilized Ambrose and his company, The Marketing Company, on a number of occasions. The most recent has been three seminars aimed at Small business owners and staff held at three separate sites in the South Taranaki District.
The results of these seminars are analyzed and I am happy to record that almost 70 people attended the three seminars and accorded Ambrose a rating of ‘very good to excellent’ satisfaction of over 95 percent.
This is the highest rating of any presenting company that I have used in my 14 years in the industry, I have no hesitation in recommending Ambrose and The Marketing Company as business seminar presenters."
