Hi Mark,
Thank you so much for yesterday it was really inspiring and incredibly generous of everyone in the hub to spend all that time with us.
The enthusiasm and commitment from the team was very evident, understandably everyone was very proud of the way they were working and the results you are achieving as a team.
Of course I was keen to see what is required of the client to make this happen and it is obvious you bring not only the vision but some pretty amazing personal qualities to the mix
Warm regards.

The Army's web-site is probably the best in the world for Generation Y recruitment and maintaining interest.

Allow me to introduce Mr. Mark Bainbridge of the British Army, per our
conversation this morning. Mark is sort of a combination of COL
Nickerson and COL Bartholomew; so you can infer that he is either super
efficient, super talented, or both.

Thank you for arranging a first class Workshop on Reserve Image. It is fair to say that in what is now becoming worrying number of years that I have worked on and off for the MOD, I have not attended a session that has produced so much in so little a time.

Director Reserve Forces and Cadets
Now the dust has settled on the Everest West Ridge Expedition I wanted to write and thank you personally for your support. Thank you for seeing the good in the expedition when we briefed you at Hereford all that time ago. Thank you for your considerable efforts to achieve your vision over the last three years...Recruiting Group has been such a huge part of the expedition, I found working with you and your team massively rewarding and a real pleasure. If I can ever be of any help please do not hesitate to ask.

Deputy Expedition Leader EWR 2006
The current Army marketing strategy represents a step-change from the Saatchis era. The difference is that behind the advertising sits an organised, multi-faceted recruitment programme, including a customer magazine and a club, to take youngsters from their initial interest to sign up. Heavens above, its that rare beast a serious integrated campaign.

It is my firm intention that you should continue to lead the Recruiting group's Marketing operation. The Marketing Group has set and achieved consistently high levels of performance since I have been CRG and has an exciting programme of future work. All this requires the strong leadership which you have brought to bear as Director of Marketing since your appointment.

I am now in a position to tell you that the total raised from the Brecon Challenge is 15,601.00 which is an amazing achievement, I cannot thank you enough for organising it once again, especially in the terrible weather conditions that prevailed on the day.

Thank you for your important contribution to the recent round table on Enhancing the Image of Professional Forces held in Brussels. The session was an important forum for practical discussion of the varying issues that affect Allies and Russia.
