I've worked with Core Communications for more than five years. While there are many suppliers of communications services, what sets Core apart is their professionalism, the lengths they go to achieve objectives, their strategic insight and risk management expertise. I have complete trust that no matter what piece of work I ask them to do, they will deliver.”

Bringing Core Communications on board had a dramatic impact on the New Zealander of the Year Awards, both in terms of the coverage generated and the expertise and advice that they offer. Core became a part of our team, quickly coming to understand what we were trying to accomplish and developing the best opportunities for us to achieve our objectives. They generated mass coverage before, during, and following our awards presentation that led to a definite increase in awareness of the New Zealander of the Year Awards and helped to deliver a hugely successful inaugural year.

Brilliant effort yesterday. I thought the event was superb and as good as it could possibly have been. Excellent publicity and the public just loved it. Well done and thanks a lot.

Tommy Parker, State Highways Manager, NZ Transport Agency, Auckland

Thank you for your contribution to the successful opening. The operation was extremely complex, and had the potential to cause significant disruption, but the advance planning and communication with the public ensured an excellent result for all involved.

The success of the weekend has set a new standard for delivery of our projects, and you are to be congratulated for rising to the challenge and delivering a result that exceeded all expectations.

Geoff Dangerfield, CEO, NZ Transport Agency, Wellington

I just wanted to thank you all for your time and the effort you put into the project. From your steady demeanour in unusual and somewhat difficult circumstances through the way you ensured that we were able to respond in a robust and culturally appropriate way at this important milestone. Your presence made a significant difference. I think that this reflected and reinforced an ethic that we have attempted to adhere to throughout the gestation of this project and that will stand us in good stead as we move forward to complete it. I hope that we may all be there at its successful conclusion thanks again.

Steve Lloyd, Project Manager, NZ Transport Agency

I wanted to let you know that I've been enormously impressed with the work that your team has done. It's been a challenging project at times, and they have remained focused and solutions-oriented the whole way through. It's been an absolute pleasure having them in charge of the project, and I look forward to working with them further on the potential regional roll-out of this resource. Their attention to detail, their stakeholder management, and their consistently clear communications skills have been faultless.

Thank you so much for having a great team at Core Communications.

Tricia Allen, Team Leader, Auckland Regional Transport Authority

Thank you for all your help. It was a great success. Particularly for your patience and for answering my many questions. Until next time.....

Thanks to all who participated in making the bridge walk today the success that it was. Special thanks to the comms team who have put a huge amount of work into the day's activity.

A fantastic effort with over 12,000 people walking across the new bridge and around 200 cyclists doing same. We received coverage from all major TV networks and importantly were able to get the message out about next weekend's traffic switch and the need to stay off Auckland's roads. Once again thanks for your participation.

Ian Harbeck, Project Manager, Newmarket Viaduct, Northern Gateway Alliance, Auckland

I have worked with the team from Core Communications in various capacities over the past decade. Core Communications always shows strength and solutions across the whole public relations field; always with professionalism and enthusiasm. They are able to quickly adapt to the changing needs of projects and provide different thinking and perspectives to achieve outstanding results. I hold the team in high regard – a wonderful group of people to work alongside.

Connie Sprague, Media Relations Manager, SKYCITY Entertainment Group

Thanks so much for all your help making today such a success. Here's to making sales off the back of a great event.

Mary Forgie, GM, AMR Interactive, Melbourne

How refreshing to see people actually do what they say they are going to do without having to follow up. A rare quality in today's business environment. Thank you.

And thank you for the invitation. It was VERY interesting and I can totally see the value of it to a corporate and of course the ability for X to up sell their services. Needless to say this was a FANTASTIC branding opportunity in front of the people who make the decisions. Nice.

Paul Speary, MD, The Business Store, Auckland

I really appreciate how hard you and your team have worked to keep me in the loop and am continually amazed at your tenacity in the face of a steady stream of challenges with this project. The good position that we're currently in is testament not just to your team's abilities but its professionalism too. Cheers.
