John Sayers General Manager Commercial – Lister Tube
Our new website is winning us new stainless steel stamping business. A visual show and tell! I can highly recommend the services of Marketing for Manufacturing. Great to deal with and always deliver!
Rowan Crozier Managing Director, Brandauer
We wanted a partner who would manage our marketing from start to finish. Warren, Steve and the team at M4M certainly achieved that. They manage everything from design for print, branding and identity, design for web and strategic marketing to PR. Working together with Marketing for Manufacturing helped take the marketing at Alloy Wire International to another level.
Mark Venables Managing Director, Alloy Wire
We have found M4M to be a refreshing change from more traditional marketing companies, who understand design, but do not appreciate the overall strategy of marketing, and indeed selling. Eye catching design is not enough for OEMs such as ourselves; we need a return on our investment and we need to see how the marketing services provided are very much in line and reinforce the sales, marketing goals and deliverables.
Tony Hague Managing Director, PP C&A
We have been working with M4M for a number of years now and their professionalism and creative design has taken our brand to the next level. By creating a structured and proactive marketing strategy for our company we have seen a huge increase in sales over this period.
Ian Bytheway Managing Director, Conveyor Units
M4M have been instrumental in our brand. They understand our business, work closely with us and offer a fantastic creative marketing service. I would happily recommend M4M.

M4M impressed me from day 1, as we had some immediate needs – a global partners event within a few days of my 1st discussion with Warren. He mobilised a team to support what turned out to be a very successful event, and we haven’t looked back since. Many thanks to Warren and his excellent team, they feel like an integral part of our company.
