PR helps you tell your story to the people who matter most. At Meades Consulting, our public relations consultants work as your own, in-house PR agency, to hone your story and your message, and get it heard in the places that really count.

Part of PR is about press relations. And our PR consultants will place stories in the ideal media for your business, whether that be specialist magazines and websites or local and national newspapers.

Yet PR is also about relations with the public. Whether that means building your personal profile among local businesses, or generating a buzz around your business in your community, our public relations experts will help your business grow. And, when it comes to managing your brand, during times of success, times of challenge and even times of crisis, PR is an essential tool in any entrepreneur’s armoury.

An understanding of employment law is vital for any business that employs people – and some that rely on freelancers and contractors.

Our employment law consultants can assist both with the big picture and the finer points of employment law, protecting your business from legal challenges as it grows.

Our consultant solicitors can draft employment contracts, redundancy and dismissal procedures, and advise and assist, if required, in redundancy and dismissal proceedings, or even at tribunals.

Their expert support will leave you free to focus on what matters most – taking your business to the next level.

From logos, letterheads and business cards through to brochures, fliers, catalogues, advertisements and mailers, professional graphic design is key to any business’ growth.

Yet the apparently simple process of managing graphic design can eat up days and weeks of a business owner’s time. This is why our graphic design consultants, all business specialists, pride themselves on working closely but efficiently with your team.

Experienced graphic designers with an outstanding track record, our consultants have worked with businesses of all sizes, both B2B and B2C. This guarantees that all your business communications have the look and feel that delivers your business goals.

In today’s commercial landscape, a standout online presence is absolutely vital – and contemporary, up-to-date web design is critical.

Meades Consulting’s expert website designers have decades of experience in web design and web development, running from large-scale, sophisticated e-commerce sites through to unfussy, elegant boutique websites and product microsites.

Unlike some web design agencies, our web development consultants will never blind you with technicalities and jargon. They will, like the rest of our team, simply work to understand the needs of your business and translate your vision into a web presence that delivers growth.

Recruitment can be one of the largest challenges a growing business faces – particularly given recruitment tends to first become an issue when management is working at or beyond capacity, and job vacancies take time to fill.

Meades Consulting provides specialist recruitment consultants, outside the conventional recruitment agency framework. They will work with you throughout the hiring process, from drafting requirements and advertising job vacancies through to sifting applications, scheduling and conducting interviews.

This means that while the most important personnel decisions remain completely up to you, you are free from the daily strains of managing recruitment and able to focus on your business goals.
