Case Study: WA Management

North-East Branch of Training Company Receives Marketing Support

05/06/2024

Working with SMEs across the Midlands, London, and Ashington, WA Management are a management systems compliance company that provides health and safety consultancy and supports ISO certification.  

Jake Sansom is a managing SHEQ consultant with WA Management for their Ashington branch and he discovered the Accelerate Ashington programme through local networking events and, with no expectations, was eager to see the assistance offered. He was quickly onboarded and referred through to our marketers.

When asked about the process he told us, “The marketing team were very receptive to feedback and made changes quickly when asked for them, communication was very efficient using their online support service.” The average run-time for each marketing campaign is between 4-6 weeks.

Upon completion, Jake was very happy with the results. “This funding was the perfect opportunity to explore the feasibility of an area of marketing that we haven’t previously engaged in.” The end of campaign report provided by Allies Group, the marketing experts who delivered his campaign, showed that the run significantly raised WA Management’s profile in the Northeast. Jake emphasised, “If you have the opportunity to use the programme, you should get involved. The support was very useful.” 

Accelerate Ashington is a business support programme, ran through Advance Northumberland funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund with the North East Combined Authority as the lead authority.
