Sweet Comms is an invaluable extension of our internal comms team. They are trusted advisors across our HR and Communications functions, proving themselves time and again to be there when we need them, smart and insightful when we brief them and efficient, professional and accurate in their planning and delivery. Their combined experience is so extensive that it’s rare to catch them without a previous insight on a brief. They work flexibly and fast, providing efficiencies to our in-house team but importantly they’re also a pleasure to work with on a personal level - nothing is too much trouble and they’re always up for a laugh.

Seven years ago, I asked Sweet Comms to undertake an internal communications review. This was to ensure I had the right quality and quantity of data to make informed decisions about our future strategy. Not only did they provide this data, but also a set of actionable recommendations. Since then, they have been enormously supportive in moving the business forward, assisting with a wide range of strategic and internal communication delivery requirements. I turn to Sweet Comms for their blend of intelligent and straight-forward advice and their willingness to respond to the day-to-demands of implementation.

We have been working with Paul for the last 5 years on a range of projects, including an initial audit of our internal communications activities. He supported us with developing a new global internal communications strategy, quickly recognising our communications challenges and adapting plans and practices to suit our company culture, channels and capabilities. He very much got “under the skin” of Renishaw and was able to help us create the most effective tactics for our business, almost becoming a 5th member of our team. He is a highly credible individual who despite the clear command of his subject area, obvious intellect and ability to speak to the C-Suite, is also able to clearly communicate ideas to individuals from a wide range of backgrounds.

Head of Communications, Renishaw plc
Sweet Comms have carried out a number of projects for me over the years at different companies. Paul and the team have consistently provided extremely valuable insights that have been informed by a rich breadth of experience across a variety of sectors. They have an enviable ability to get to the heart of complex or multifaceted situations and to produce recommendations that are both insightful and highly practical. The feedback on their work from colleagues and partners has always been uniformly and extremely positive. I look forward to working with Paul and the team again in the future.

We chose to work with Sweet Comms on an important rail sector project – and I’m so glad we did. In a short space of time, Paul added real value and had a significant impact on our approach and outcomes. Based on his extensive experience, Paul was really clear in his advice and not afraid to challenge when needed.
Anthony Perret
Regional Director, Strategic Advisory, UK&I, AECOM
Sweetcomms were an invaluable partner to the business as we developed our internal communication strategy in support of our cultural change programme. Paul and the team provided a great balance of supporting the delivery of content, with a critical eye on how the overall messages needed to be shaped. It always felt like a true partnership.

I have worked with Paul and the team on a number of very sensitive change projects: 3-4 factory closures, a DB pension closure and office closures. Paul is absolutely one of the few people I can trust to get it right, to focus on the critical details, and to see the big picture. Paul will always reply on time, under considerable pressure and working all the various angles. Paul is one of the best change comms practitioners I know. I cannot recommend his work in this important field highly enough.
Rupert Maitland-Titterton, former Senior Director, Corporate Affairs and Sustainability, EMEA for Kellogg and Director, Corporate Communications, Central & North Europe for Tetra Pak
Paul and his team have helped me with a number of projects over the years. These included a range of internal communication planning and drafting requirements during my time with PepsiCo, on topics ranging from structural change to sustainability. Different needs and scenarios in each case, but Sweet Comms delivered the same rigorous thinking, clear advice and practical, hands-on support every time. Paul also devised and delivered a bespoke training day for PepsiCo’s pan-European Internal Communication team. I would heartily recommend Sweet Comms.
Charlotte Ling, Group Head of Internal Communications, Persimmon Homes (formerly Head of IC, Europe, PepsiCo).
Sweet Comms helped us with an important and sensitive crisis communications exercise for a client. Their expert, calm and diligent support was hugely valuable: they really understand the field of change and crisis communication. They helped us both develop a plan and draft a whole suite of communication materials to address the situation our client faced, providing sound advice along the way. Theirs was clear, calm and practical support in a potentially tense situation. They were a pleasure to work with.

If you need anything employee engagement or internal communications related, you need to know Paul. His advice is always sound, always appropriate to the situation and on top of all that he's great to work with.
Liz Tudball, Director of Employee and Corporate Communications, Guardian News & Media
Over the last five years, Sweet Comms has been our go-to external partner for their expertise with change management and internal communications, never more so than last year. They have a deep understanding of our business so the advice and direction is always excellent. Paul has led the work and is commercial, conscientious and I have personally learnt a lot from him on the importance of internal communications.
