“Midland Creative Projects Limited more than met our brief and are value for money in every sense. They took time to understand the Bluecoat and what we were trying to achieve, establishing a good two-way working relationship from the outset. They challenged and stimulated our thinking throughout the process, and we felt they had really ‘inhabited’ our organisation whilst at the same time maintaining an external objectivity. The result was an excellent document that was instrumental in us securing significant funding for a two year literature development.”
Bryan Biggs, Artistic Director, Bluecoat, Liverpool.

His impressive network of contacts, considerable experience and expertise in managing literature projects together with an understanding of libraries and how they operate has contributed greatly to the success of Poetry on Loan over the past 5 years. He can always be relied upon to produce high quality resources and events; he is prompt and clear in his communications and incredibly hard working. His dedication and passion for literature shine through and he is a pleasure to work with.”
