Testimonials"In mid 2007, The Chiropractors Association of Australia (NSW) Ltd began looking for a "PR company with a difference" to help us promote the chiropractic profession as primary health care practitioners, and to advance our aim to have Chiropractic integrated into Public Hospitals and Public Health initiatives. MacPR greatly impressed us from our first meeting. The professionalism and enthusiasm demonstrated by the team at that first meeting has not wavered throughout the past 2 years and they have showed a genuine interest in promoting the chiropractic message. We look forward to continuing our association with MacPR and would highly recommend them to anyone wishing to heighten their public profile." "MPR are valued members of our team and their role was integral to the success of the Chalk Urban Art Festival in 2009. When the Festival was in danger of being cancelled, MPR were there with ideas and the know-how to keep the event alive. Together we worked through issues and found solutions. Their advice and actions were invaluable. The positive PR increased the popularity of the Festival and extended our audience. With MPR on board we were able to focus on the big picture and have total peace of mind that PR was well taken care of." Andi Mether, Festival Director "The comprehensive media, government and stakeholder relations program that MPR has delivered for Sharpe Bros has succeeded in increasing our profile and strengthening our brand and reputation. We consider MPR’s consultants as integral members of our team who understand our business goals and provide us with valuable advice to help us achieve our objectives. We have great confidence in their ability to deliver outstanding results for our company. Sharpe Bros relies on MPR to successfully manage all our communications needs – from regular media activities to building relationships with government; from running community and industry events to coordinating our various marketing collateral." Michael Sharpe, Joint Managing Director "MPR has consistently provided George Weston Foods with successful media relations campaigns across a range of divisions including Baking, Meat and Dairy, Weston Cereal Industries and Cereform; as well as specific projects involving our parent company Associated British Foods. MPR has generated positive media coverage as well as contained potentially negative press for our company. They are able to achieve this due to their in-depth knowledge of the media and their ability to consistently provide concise and strategic issues management advice." John Kavanagh, Finance Director "With an integrated proactive and reactive communications program, MacGregor Public Relations successfully garnered support for the Penrith Lakes Scheme from the community, local media and all three levels of government, and thus enabled the smooth transformation of the Penrith Lakes Development Corporation from sand and gravel quarry to prestige residential development. This was achieved through a series of large-scale community events, a number or personal political functions, the provision of frequent positive stories to local journalists, and the swift and effective management of issues and crises.” Ian Stainton, CEO "The proactive government and media relations program implemented by MacGregor Public Relations has been successful in establishing a voice for the recently formed Roofing Tile Association of Australia. MPR’s solid contacts within government at all levels have enabled the Association to build a constructive working relationship with the relevant Federal Minister and contribute positively to regulation of the roofing tile industry in various States and Territories.” Tony Tanner, Executive Director "MacGregor Public Relations assists Aristocrat with its government relations program and has been successful in securing meetings with key government figures relevant to our industry at both State and Federal levels. I have found MPR to be professional and reliable, dedicated to providing service of the very highest standard, and over the years have developed a close working relationship with the team." Guy Wood, Manager, Business Development and Government "MacGregor Public Relations was first engaged by Hills Motorway Limited in September 2004 to protect the company’s image through a time of turmoil leading up to and through the Annual General Meeting. John MacGregor personally handled the sensitive issues involved and, together with the MPR team, defused the potential for any detrimental impact. Because of this initial success HML was pleased to seek a tender from MPR for its ongoing public relations management involving media management, sponsorship, charity, business statements and advertising. The company has been more than pleased with the results and particularly the service provided by Manager Michelle Newman.” John Hopman, Managing Director "In 2002, the Foundation was confronting a major funding shortfall for asbestos disease compensation. It was clear that a solution would require deploying high quality resources in a number of key areas. The expertise provided by MacGregor Public Relations in government and media relations was of great value in pursuing our goal of achieving additional funding from the James Hardie organisation.” Dennis Cooper, Managing Director
