Testimonials - James McQueen

It was nothing but a pleasure to work with Jamie over a number of years at Quilter. He's an asset to any team - reliable, calm under pressure and thorough in all aspects of his work. His depth of marketing knowledge is extensive, especially in terms of the adviser and client marketing campaigns/communications he's successfully led for Quilter. I've particularly enjoyed working with Jamie on materials and training sessions which have helped advisers to grow their businesses and make the most of digital marketing opportunities.

I worked with James for a year at Quilter and was impressed by his calm and measured approach and helpful and collaborative way of working. These traits were also reflected in how he managed and developed his team and built trust across the business. James is incredibly adept at producing client marketing campaigns and communications that support and reassure advisers as they grow their business. He is open to exploring new ways of delivering information, eager to understand all parts of the business and it has been a pleasure to work with him.

I have recently worked with James on a marketing project and I can strongly endorse his skills and knowledge. He has been incredibly informative and helpful with regards to the marketing strategy, helping me understand various aspects such as social media, PPC campaigns, SEO etc. Additionally James produced a very professional video for me to use online to promote myself. He was able to direct, produce and edit the footage to a very high standard. Thank you James!

A truly excellent marketer – I have worked with James to promote the Old Mutual Wealth propositions and find him not only a pleasure to interact with, but also highly focused on delivery to a very high standard. Most recently James has provided his expertise in the production of 4 videos explaining Business Protection to advisers. It is not the easiest of subjects, and his guidance on timings and delivery were of immense value in completing this task. His professionalism and knowledge during production contributed greatly in delivering exactly what we wanted. James actively and helpfully contributes all along the process, turning what could be a difficult task into a comfortable and enjoyable experience and with great results!

I have been working with James over the last 6 months to help promote Legal & General Insurance proposition to their group members. James has always been very helpful and efficient and provided invaluable support in this communication process. Communication to such a large audience of members can be a challenge in some companies, however James often provides me with new and innovative ideas for our communications, which is most appreciated.
James Gittins, Key Relationship Manager, Legal & General

James is detail orientated and has an amazing ability to see through huge amounts of information and cut right to what's important. I've found him extremely efficient, conscientious and to always deliver on his promises - however big or small those promises may have been. I would highly recommend working with James, his knowledge and understanding of his business sector and the industry as a whole is quite an education, you will learn something new every time you speak to him.

James is the "Go To Guy" when it comes to social media and the benefits that brings to building up a brand of your own. His knowledge of the various social media sites is unquestionable and he offers excellent tips to making a success of social media and marketing of your business. I have also witnessed first hand his presentation skills at a recent conference and he spoke with confidence and passion to a large audience of professional advisers. It has been a pleasure to work alongside James.
Paul Cass, Financial Planning Consultant, True Potential LLP

I had the pleasure of working with James as he produced a number of promotional videos and presentations for our business proposition. I found him highly professional with a keen eye for detail but he is also very aware of the human element, taking care to convey a message in a way that best suits your style. Patience certainly is a virtue and James has bags of it! The work we produced is excellent and I would recommend him 110%.
Christopher Saunders, Investment Manager, Core & Satellite Team, WH Ireland Ltd

I recently met James to help produce a short video to promote my financial planning business. Having never attempted anything like this before James's expertise was invaluable and without it the finished video would not have been completed in such a professional way. From the initial basic guidance for preparation , through to face to face tips, coaching and plenty of patience I was extremely impressed with James knowledge and skill in this area. The result was a highly professional yet individual presentation and all completed in a matter of hours. I am very happy to recommend James for any video and social media work.
Martin Elander, Financial Planner, Quilter Financial Advisers

I have relied heavily on James' expertise and guidance on many aspects of marketing my business offering. I have found James knowledge and advice second to none. Be it general marketing, social media promotions and general advice on compliance James has had the answers and advice. The latest project was recording a promotional video. The end result was brilliant, but made so, not so much by the star of the video (that's me) but more to do with the excellent production and editing skills that would not be out of place in a film studio. I found James approachable and easy to work with. Someone whose subject knowledge is superb and who strives and achieves perfection. I would have no hesitation in recommending James to anyone.
David Hobden, Mortgage & Protection Adviser, Charles Derby Financial Services Ltd

I have been working with James since early in 2014. James has been instrumental in bringing our product to the notice of Charles Derby advisers through his role of Marketing Director at Charles Derby. He has proved himself to be very knowledgeable, efficient and courteous. James' ideas have contributed greatly to how well our product is presented via the Charles Derby portal and I have been delighted with the reaction I have received from all who have viewed the work James has done for us. I would have no hesitation in recommending James and the first class support he provides.
Gordon McQuater, Operations Director, Family Asset Protection Company Ltd

James is always very quick to help with any marketing that I have asked him for (even working late at night sometimes). I have always been very pleased with the work that James has done for me and the results that have come from it. I have worked with many people in the past and find him to be one of the most accommodating, hard working and knowledgeable colleagues that I have had. I would not hesitate to recommend any of his work.
Corinne Gibbons, Financial Services Team Manager, Charles Derby Financial Services Ltd

James has produced 3 promotional films for me so far and all in relation to my General Insurance Adviser role. I have to say they are outstanding and have already in the short time since we filmed the videos, they have already prompted quite a few sales enquiries. James is extremely professional and during what can be a nerve racking experience, helps make you feel at ease with encouraging words and helpful tips to make the process run as smoothly as possible. I highly recommend him.
