Client Testimonials

David was absolutely first-class – there were no weak areas to improve. He’s the best in the business at this. – Mirror Group Journalist

“David’s media law training went down brilliantly with Immediate’s journalists. It was practical, relevant and entertaining and we received brilliant feedback – examples included “concise, entertaining and passionate” and “he was great! What a hugely engaging speaker” – Katherine Conlon, Head of Legal Affairs, Immediate Media Company

Your sessions are always brilliant and full of fun and learning. – Darren Caveney, co-founder, Comms2.0

Your fascinating talk really set the tone. The delegates were still talking about it at dinner this evening. – Michael Lavery, Durham University, CASE conference organiser

Thanks for social media sessions – entertaining and informative, what more could you want? – Martin Done, Communications and Marketing Director, Nottinghamshire County Council

The session was extremely thorough and interesting, and the feedback from the team has been very, very positive. It was great to have so many personal stories and anecdotes, which certainly made the hours fly by. – Carla Buzasi, Editor-in-Chief of The Huffington Post UK & Global Editorial Director for HuffPost Lifestyle

I have been attending courses/seminars for very many years, on a wide range of legal subjects. I have to say that David`s course was one of the most enjoyable and understandable I have attended. I now have a far better understanding of what we can do (and in some instances, what we cannot do) to resolve issues. – Huw Miller, Head of Legal Services, Pembrokeshire County Council

I found the course very informative and very interesting. David’s depth of knowledge was expressed thoroughly in the examples he provided from his career which put the context of what he was presenting, into a realistic setting and relaxed format. I would definitely attend something like this again. – Amanda Rees, Marketing Officer, Coleg Sir Gâr

David’s training session was informative, expertly tailored to our needs, and great fun. As a PR agency operating in both traditional and digital media, it’s vital that our knowledge of the law is up-to-date. David’s expertise and knowledge of our industry meant that this session delivered everything we needed. – Tudor-Reilly PR Agency

Really useful, great reminder of stuff I already knew, plus new updates on changing media law. I found the content interesting and relevant, particularly in relation to social media. – Diane Phillips, Press and Communications Officer, Carmarthenshire County Council

David’s training was lively and engaging. It brought to life what can be a very dry subject, with interesting case histories and his very accomplished presentation skills. My team have varying levels of knowledge about media law but everyone of them took something new away from the training and said they found the session valuable to their day-to-day work. – Louise Douglas, Head of Communications at the Regenda Group

Just a quick note to say thanks again for your time and expertise today. I have already had lots of feedback from those attending all saying how interesting and helpful they found the day. – Alison Fenney, CAFOD director of advocacy and communications

Just wanted to say I thought the media law refresher last Thursday was brilliant and I’ve asked my bosses if all my news team can go on it – thanks so much for being very informative and not at all dull! – Lucy Wood, news editor, Grimsby Evening Telegraph

I found the course very informative and relevant. The presentation delivery was clear and broken down into simpler language. Plenty of case studies used as examples of law breaches to supplement the facts presented to us. Plenty of humour used throughout the day, engaging well with guests. – Peredur Emlyn, Senior Communications Officer, Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service
