Derek Mansfield at Bold Endeavours asked me to write an open reference for his company.
The easiest thing would be to say  “Simply brilliant; very, very cost effective” and then get you to phone me on 07768614248
However, you may not have time to do that so you'll probably want to know that we've been using Bold Endeavours as development house and consultancy for about 3 years. They created our Content Managed System with automated newsletter and produced a series of videos and flash animations for email marketing and training. They are highly creative in thought and execution; advice is always sound - if not always what we want to hear. They give honest appraisals of progress; deliver on time 99% of the time. 
And they're good people to be around too.
Would I recommend them? Unfailingly.

Dear Derek,
Further to your request for comments on our business relationship I am more than willing say how effective you are as web developers and hope the following demonstrates how highly we hold you amongst our suppliers - and being a real 'find' for us. 
We have been using Bold Endeavours as a web consultancy and development company for about 3 years. In the initial stages we asked them for advice on Search Engine Optimisation and then to upgrade our Cold Fusion based site - www.stockindexonline.com - the site was extremely complex but they managed to gain a complete understanding very fast - and this was without a developer's manual.  For the last two years they have managed major site overhauls/upgrades very quickly with a minimum amount of fuss and at very competitive rates on both the Stock Index Online site and the sister site www.stockfootageonline.com. Currently we have 98 of our key search phrases at No 1 on Google and more than 400 within the first two pages
As a result our exposure and overall efficiency has increased and our maintenance costs have decreased considerably. Recently we involved them in site design - this was previously handled by a freelance designer. Working with the designer their input in terms of new page layout and navigation changes was considerable; a dramatic improvement in user-ship resulted.  Finally I'd like to say that the Bold Endeavours team are tenacious in finding solutions for our challenges. This really is a company that goes the extra mile.
I have no hesitation in giving them the highest possible recommendations.

To whom it may concern.
Bold Endeavours was retained by ICW Power in 2003/4 to develop and manage our new corporate website and to develop and install a unique, web enabled, automatic remote quotation system for our modular range of power distribution products.
Derek Mansfield, the Managing Director of Bold Endeavours, acted as the Account Director for these projects throughout the programme.
ICW Power is very impressed by the results from Bold Endeavours innovative software engineering that has allowed us to leapfrog competition in driving down bid administration costs. We also found the processes which Derek and Bold Endeavours employed to manage a long and complex work programme both effective and involving. Their business is adaptable, responsive and very customer focussed.
We enjoyed working with Bold Endeavours, would do so again and are happy to recommend this company to other organisations.
Yours faithfully,
Robert Mills

I have no hesitation in recommending Bold Endeavours after the amount of care and attention to detail that was given during the development of the ICW & GSS websites and especially for the assistance in the creation of the Powerail Selector Tool.

To whom It may concern
When seeking new suppliers we have three main criteria: skills, costs and inter-personal relationships.
We have worked with Bold Endeavours for 5 years and we find them to be highly skilled in their prime areas - web design, web development and e-marketing.
Their delivery record is extremely good and we find their costs to be highly competitive too.  
Our final criteria of interpersonal relationships is important to us - previously we were not highly knowledgeable about the Net and Bold Endeavours' staff have aided and guided us with great patience and good humour.
I would recommend them highly to anyone. They are very professional and very honest.
Sincerely
