The Pleasure Is All Ours…

“Phil really helped me get organised by teaching me how to use Trello, so I can now be more efficient at work. He was really patient in showing me how to get the best out of the system for me and my team and I’m definitely finding it a huge help in my day to day. Thanks Phil”

“I reached out to Phil for assistance with a total revamp of my website’s content, which had become stale and outdated. Engaging Phil for this project proved to be an excellent decision. He adapted to my working speed, we held frequent discussions about the aesthetics and essence of the content, and his remarkable attention to detail was precisely the expertise I required.”

“I can highly recommend Kirkwood Business Services. Phil helped me get up and running when I started my own company in early 2021. Whilst I focused on securing my first clients, Phil swiftly took care of designing and creating professional looking branding for use on my website, business cards, LinkedIn page and invoices. Kirkwood Business Services provided the skills, attention to detail and creativity needed to free up my time to focus on other elements of my business.”

In dealing with social media content creation, Canva graphics, customer reviews, system organisation and much more, we have been able to manage our growing business whilst continuing to deliver great service to our clients.

“As a small marketing agency, we sometimes need to call on the services of expertise not held within our organisation. Phil fits the bill perfectly, easy going but extremely professional, he helped pull together video content for one of our clients. I’d have no hesitation in recommending Phil and am looking forward to the opportunity of working with him again.”

“Knowing Phil’s varied digital experience, I approached him for design ideas for my company logo. My brief was loose, but he quickly delivered the exact logo I required to portray my services in one clean and concise image. I’ve taken Phil’s advise on various projects over the years I’ve known him. He has the ability to declutter, to focus on highlighting the key messages.”

“I worked on Zoom with Phil, making my systems and day to day IT access more streamlined to save me time. He also reminded me about Trello which I had used in the past a lot and have now returned to. He introduced me to Toby for Chrome which is a genius full service platform housing all the websites and platforms I use on a daily basis. All of it is working well, thank you Phil!”

“I just wanted to thank Phil for his excellent and professional support recently. He guided me to organising my business and to be able to work more efficiently and productively. He was patient, knowledgeable, fun and succinct meaning we completed the task within the allocated time. Really enjoyed our work together and I would definitely recommend Phil.”

“The great thing about Phil is he’s so user-friendly so he makes IT stuff user-friendly! He takes the time to find out about how your current systems work (or don’t!) and can show you small manageable steps to reduce frustration. He has a fun and down-to-earth way of describing techy stuff to make it relatable to non-techies like me. We came up with simple next steps for our next session and I actually feel enthusiastic about what would otherwise feel an avoidable burden. I can happily recommend him for one-off pesky IT headaches, or an ongoing project.”

“I booked a 1:1 session with Phil to help me get to grips with Trello. I had some knowledge but hadn’t taken the time to explore all the functionality. The 90 minutes whizzed by and it was extremely helpful. Being able to share my Trello board with Phil via Zoom was great as he could see where I was up to and guide me through the functions I wasn’t using yet, totally hands-on which is how I like to learn. I definitely learned how I can maximise not only my time but also that of invited members of my board. I’ve no doubt it saved me time, far quicker than trying to work it out for myself by searching videos etc, and hence cheaper in the long run. I picked up some great tips that I wouldn’t have come across otherwise and I loved that I was in control of where we invested the time. Phil has a great style; patient, informal and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend a training session with Kirkwood Business Services.”
