We were impressed by the speed with which Howard understood the key drivers of our business and his wide-ranging experience was invaluable for the project that we worked on together.

The benchmarking analysis which Howard did for Daycare Trust was an excellent piece of work, pitched at just the right level for us to take it to the next stage. The assumptions and recommendations made chimed well with our ideas of good approaches to follow, and we fed the analysis into our business planning for 2012-13. In general, we were very impressed with how quickly Howard understood the organization and the environment within which it operates. His experience, expertise and professionalism were hugely valuable for Daycare Trust.

ERD Associates recently carried out two pieces of research work for The Bookseller Group. The first involved face-to-face interviews with key reader groups. The second looked at pay wall models being applied by major weekly publishers. Both were carried out with Howard’s customary rigour and intelligence.
- Nigel Roby, Managing Director, The Bookseller Group
Howard has an excellent grasp of key business issues, challenges and solutions. We hired Howard to provide a review of our business, particularly our subscriptions division and website sales. He provided us with a superb, detailed and incredibly useful set of inputs which exceeded our expectations and set us on what we believe to be the right path for further success.
