What our clients say

  • I appreciated the thoughtful experience and generous, regular and clear communication between Markwell and Associates and the agency. I felt the consultants understood what I needed, that I knew what was going on and that I could have confidence in the process to get me the deliverables I needed in the timeframes I needed. I felt that the Traditional Owners were getting the same; plenty of information and engagement in designing the workshops, which was evidenced by their turn-out and engagement on the day. I also really appreciated the commitment to best practice and that I really trusted that Markwell and Associates understood and were committed to the project and the outcomes.Strategically, the greatest benefit was the deep and broad understanding of the issues that Markwell and Associates brought to the process, which value-added and provided expert guidance. Operationally, the workshops were organised smoothly, ran well and received excellent feedback from participants. Markwell and Associates got good attendance and excellent engagement of participants at each meeting, which can be difficult for consultants, which was a massive benefit to the project.
