Comments from our clients
From the British Parking Association
"Since we appointed CPL to write, design and produce the British Parking Association's monthly magazine, Parking News, we have been delighted with the results.
"The handover process from our previous publishing arrangement was smooth and CPL carried out a major redesign of the magazine to coincide with the first issue they produced. This gave the magazine a fresher, more modern look, which has proved popular with our readers and advertisers alike. The team has also done a great job in terms of editorial content, introducing new writers and perspectives, running more opinion pieces and ensuring that the coverage reflects the needs of general readers, BPA members and the BPA itself."
Emily McCunn
Communications Manager
From the Association of Business Executives
"We work with Cambridge Publishers on both our quarterly magazines and we have always found their services to be of the highest standard. CPL's designers are both creative and innovative whilst their customer service is highly attentive and efficient.
"After discussing ideas for a magazine redesign, they quickly provided us with various options and the whole process was seamless and ultimately successful. We look forward to many more years of working with CPL."
Jonathan Swindell
Publications Manager
From the Institute for Effective Education
"I just wanted to send you a quick note to express my thanks for your team's work on the first issue of Better: Evidence-based Education.
"The whole process was amazingly smooth, and CPL came up with ideas that fitted our brief. Aspects of the project that might have proved difficult, such as producing editions for the UK and the US, and working with staff in both countries, were never a problem. We were delighted with the end result and, more importantly, so are our readers. ‘It's an awesome resource!’ was one comment we received, and to date the take-up of subscriptions has been above our expectations.
"From my point of view, CPL produce high-quality, professional results with a minimum of fuss and at a competitive price. It's great to have someone you can rely on."
Jonathan Haslam
Manager of Dissemination
From Le Monde diplomatique
"The English edition of Le Monde diplomatique, the Paris monthly, moved its editorial production to Cambridge Publishers [in 2007]. The change has been nothing but a delight... Cambridge Publishers are efficient, experienced, totally professional and give us clear, crisp layout much to our liking.
"But Cambridge Publishers have another quality too. They are thoroughly decent, nice people to work with - always helpful and ready to offer sound advice when asked. It counts."
Wendy Kristianasen
Editorial Director, English edition
From A4e (Action for Employment Ltd)
"We gave CPL a clear brief - to come up with a magazine that we would be proud to display prominently on our stand during the party political conference season. That meant it needed to appeal to politicians, civil servants, the media and other key stakeholders in the public policy arena. It needed to be an interesting, informative and accessible magazine, while reflecting A4e's views and priorities in a subtle way.
"CPL has achieved all this and more with Blueprint; we are delighted with the result, both in terms of its journalistic and its design quality. Another unexpected bonus is that it has been extremely well received by our employees, even though they were not the main target audience. We look forward to continuing to work with CPL on many more issues in the future."
Sara McKee
Group Commercial Director
From Molson Coors (UK)
"We have worked with Mike Sewell and the team at CPL for more than a decade and have always been impressed by their commitment to producing a high-quality employee magazine that is enjoyed and respected by employees at every level of the business.
"From my perspective, I like the way that CPL manages the whole editorial and production process, liaising with us when required but being prepared to take responsibility for delivering the magazine on time and to budget. The design has developed over the years, in response to the changing needs of readers and our business, and I was delighted that all the hard work was recognised in the 2008 CIB awards."
Paul Hegarty
Head of Communications
From the Business Link team at BERR (formerly the DTI)
"After offering us the best strategy at the most competitive price for updating and refreshing a range of publications, Cambridge Publishers produced exactly what we wanted: a publication that was clearly written, with reader friendly layouts, plus a smart and attractive overall design. Cambridge also ensured that everything was completed within our budget to a tight deadline with no panics!
"The team at Cambridge Publishers were consistently friendly, efficient and a pleasure to work with while ensuring the whole project ran on oiled wheels. We were particularly grateful for their experienced advice and suggestions along the way, which improved the end product. We would be very happy to work with them again."
The Business Link team
From the Chamber of Shipping
"I'd like to thank everybody at Cambridge Publishers for the continuing high standards you have brought to all of the communications projects we have asked you to carry out on our behalf. You have brought fresh designs, strong editorial support and first-class project management skills to our regular newsletter, our annual review and to our digital newsletter.
"Everyone at CPL is friendly, efficient and a pleasure to work with. With CPL we can trust that our projects are in thoroughly professional hands. I believe that the greatest praise that can be given to external suppliers is to say that it feels like they have become a "part of the team", since this points to a willingness to "go the extra mile" and a recognition that the supplier has worked to understand your business and its challenges. I certainly feel that all at CPL are part of the team. We also like the fact that you always stick to deadlines and bring our publications in on budget!"
Jeremy Harrison
Head of Communications
From Central England Trading Standards Authorities (CEnTSA)
"The service we receive is first class. Editors are professional and receptive to our ideas, turnaround time is excellent and they make the production of our business newsletter simple."
Nick Harrison
CEnTSA Regional Co-ordinator
From Phoenix International Publishing
"This is just a quick note to put on record our satisfaction with the
work you've undertaken for us over the years. Cambridge Publishers
are true professionals in their field, and you consistently deliver for us -
on schedule - excellent design and production work. You are straight-talking,
no-nonsense guys, who quite simply get the job done. We are very pleased with
the relationship!"
Simon Todd
President
From the Trading Standards Institute
"You have clearly demonstrated already that our faith in CPL was well placed and we have all been exceptionally pleased with the notable improvements you have brought not only to TS Today but also to our wider communications and publications interests."
Ron Gainsford
Chief Executive
From the Federation of Small Businesses
"Congratulations on another excellent issue of First Voice. Under Cambridge Publishers it has certainly become the most professional publication that the FSB produces, and I know from my own experience as Chairman of Recruitment that our recruiting teams are proud to offer the magazine to prospective members as a real benefit. Keep up the good work!"
John Emmins
Director
From the Institute of Sport and Recreation Management
"On behalf of the Institute, I'd like to put on the record our thanks and
appreciation for the great work... the CPL team have done on Recreation.
The magazine is praised regularly by outsiders as well as by members, and is
quite obviously a strong ambassador for ISRM. You have successfully evolved the
design over the years, and its content is just what a professional organisation
like ours needs to communicate effectively with the membership."
Ralph Riley
Chief Executive
