Testimonials

"The workshops arranged by MES were of great use to our Youth Mayor and UK Parliament Representative candidates, giving them a better understanding of what was expected of them and helping them greatly in writing up their manifestos. The facilitators were very friendly and engaged well with the young people."

"It was a pleasure to work with MES on the BID project for Worthing. MES had an understanding of Business Improvement Districts and this really helped when working together on the communication strategy for the Worthing BID. The briefing and management of the campaign was managed by MES which enabled the Town Centre Initiative to focus on other aspects of the BID, including the Head Office communications, collateral and business and financial planning. I would recommend using MES to manage the communications strategy for any potential BID as they were not only professional but also offered great value for money."

"In common with many unions, Equity struggles to engage members in its democratic structures. In particular, turn out in our committee elections has been disapointing for many years. As part of a broad process across the union of reviewing these structures we have worked with Membership Engagement Services to improve the way our elections are presented and managed. To our delight we have had more contested committee elections that for more than a decade, a significant increase in members standing for the first time for an Equity committee and a doubling in turn-out. While just a start in our work in breathing new life into our democracy, these improvements were beyond our expectations. In my view, we could not have achieved this without the involvement of MES."

"Our work in increasing our supporter base has reaped huge rewards, announcing this year our 3.5 millionth member. We are delighted that we have extended our links with ERS and MES in the redesign of our voting papers and areas of AGM research to similarly increase member voting and turn-out. ERS and MES have demonstrated a good understanding of our needs and worked alongside us to deliver significant improvements in a short timescale. Feedback from our members at this early stage is encouraging and we are looking forward to reviewing the full results."

"MES has aided us by designing a system suitable for our needs that is both user friendly and quick to learn; they have also been adaptable in incorporating our suggestions, and taken on any feedback that we have given. We have also found them to be easily contactable for help and advice with a quick response time in answering queries along with a fast turnaround for uploading large amounts of data!"

"Despite a series of high volume mailouts our recruitment was slow. MES were already engaged to create our database and we turned to them for additional help and advice to recruit.

The resulting street campaign was effective, with over 1000 members recruited in little over a week. That this was also linked to our database allowed for prompt reporting and analysis and proved the value of combining the two functions."

“An extremely professional and efficient service”

“MES carried out a membership recruitment campaign on behalf of Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust in April 09. We were extremely pleased with the service we received from MES from the initial analysis, selection of appropriate locations to ensure we were building a representative membership and helping reach our 3 year target. We would not hesitate in using MES for future membership recruitment campaigns.”

“Client satisfaction is of the utmost importance to MES and this is reflected in the first class service they provide. The staff are professional and friendly and always on hand to provide any additional support. MES have helped us to establish an efficient and effective way in which to manage our membership and always aim to minimise the client workload.”
