Client comments
The Møller Centre's website is a critical part of extending our reach and reputation as well as driving revenue. We're pleased to have partnered with Granite 5 who I have found to be a reliable, proactive and effective digital agency.
Tim Hill – Marketing Manager, The Møller Centre
The new site can now be used very easily by all members of the internal team as it is so intuitive and therefore requires minimal training. Only one or two members of the team could use the old website due to the amount of time it took to train people up! Our events team report that setting up events on the website has reduced man hours by half as it so intuitive to use.
Antonia Stratford – Head of Public Affairs and Communications, UKinbound
Thank you to entire team for exceeding our expectations and delivering a fantastic new website.
Thomas Freda – Chief Executive Officer, Prior Scientific, Inc.
