We appointed M&N in April 2006 on teh back of their retail experience as it was imperative we found a team that could hit the ground running. They did not disappoint us. The stakeholder relationships they quily formed enabled them to design and deliver an effective and proactive integrated trade and consumer communications programme right through the Eden's launch in March 2008.

The team's commitment, professionalism and enthusiasm were much appreciated and I am in no doubt that their efforts made a considerable contribution to Eden's successful launch and continuing high levels of footfall.
