"I would like to take this opportunity of thanking you both for your endeavours in making it possible through Abbotts for the SpoonAAs (Wooden Spoon) to take a team to Dubai for the Veterans 10's Tournament. I appreciate all of the hard work that has gone into this from a number of people within this partnership, both of you being very high on my list..."
"Abbotts advertising introduced Worcester Rugby to a potential sponsor prior to the club gaining promotion into Zurich Premiership. Jeremy worked closely with the team in a professional manner. After negotiations with the club a successful commercial deal was made to everyone's satisfaction. I found Abbotts advertising to be efficient and would certainly recommend working with them..."
Westcombe Park are pleased to announce the appointed of Abbotts-Advertising as our new official media partner. They will initially be responsible for selling additional pitch advertising for the 1st XV area, linked into a business package for the launching of the Westcombe Park

"Thank you again for all you did during the 2009/2010 season. We were absolutely delighted with the way you delivered your side of the contract at a time when the UK economy was in recession. Unlike many clubs, we were able to run with sound finances and the effect of all the sponsorship boards is to make the ground look much smarter. Great job Jerry"
Overall the relationship with Abbott’s has exceeded our wildest expectations. Considering the current economic climate we are pleased that all the objectives set have been beaten. At all times you are guaranteed a speedy response, and Abbott’s are in attendance at the club and club events on a regular basis. Events organized have received almost uniformly positive feedback from clients. Visitors to the ground have also unanimously given positive feedback on how the ground looks, and commented on how much more professional we appear. Abbott’s are very receptive in discussing alternative ways of cash generation, and creative in putting together packages.
Abbott’s have met all the objectives set, and have generated a very large income for the club. The major workload of the relationship is borne by Abbott’s, so this income is achieved for minimal club effort. The club does however have to accept their responsibility in maximizing the benefit clients receive from the club.
The whole committee are very positive, and appreciative of all the hard effort Abbott’s put in
"Independent News & Media (INM) UK Limited (Sports Division), which publishes sports supplements for the Group and its flagship title International Rugby News, employed Abbotts Advertising in February 2004 as a freelance advertising company. Jeremy and Clair Ramsden have taken on this role in a very efficient manner, their quality of work is excellent and they have taken some very tight deadlines in their stride, with an extremely professional attitude.
As a global company we have certain standards which we expect all employees to upkeep. The level of professionalism which they practise, both between ourselves and clients on our behalf is second to none. They have not only met their targets, but have gone on to achieve well above our expectations. In addition they have also introduced new methods of increasing revenues by branding / sponsoring editorial features and product reviews.
In achieving and exceeding all commercial targets set to them, they have also brought in a phenomenal amount of new business to our company. In all my years at INM we have never had the luxury of a company who work so diligently, ignoring all normal hours of work until the job is complete, their contribution to our business has been nothing short of fantastic. Would have no qualms in recommending this company to anyone in the Rugby community; their work ethic is beyond reproach..."
"Abbotts worked with us on various activities in the car park and on the pitch for the London Pride Middlesex Sevens at Twickenham. They attracted some excellent clients which not only added considerably to the revenue but also contributed to the excellent atmosphere of the event. We are happy to retain Abbotts for the 2005 Middlesex Sevens..."
Working with Jeremy was a challenge from day one, principally because he rapidly increased our sales revenue and had our production team fulfilling order-form after order form. His ability to immediately pick up a brief, run with it and convert this into direct sales across the short-term was and remains highly impressive. All in all I would recommend Jeremy for his determination, tenacity and above all his abilities as a highly competent sales professional
"London Wasps starting working with Abbotts Advertising in May 2004. We employed Abbotts to sell signage at our home ground, Causeway Stadium and to assist in selling sponsorship of individual players. We have been delighted with Abbotts work. They worked efficiently, were professional and succeeded in selling all our signage for the season in a very short period of time. Their ability to achieving this so promptly has been of great commercial assistance to the club and we have no hesitation in recommending Abbotts to any other company. For efficiency, professionalism and results London Wasps are proud to be associated with Abbotts Advertising..."
Abbotts have done an outstanding job in revenue generation for Esher in a very short period of time and I would not hesitate in recommending them to anyone looking to create additional funds for their sports club
"The work has been to a very high standard and has proved to be a very valuable asset in helping the Falcons achieve our commercial objectives.
The quality of their approach and attention to detail is what I believe sets Abbotts apart from other advertising agencies. Once given a brief they have consistently delivered against tight deadlines. Their level of service is always first class and Abbotts are very professional in all aspects of their work.
The key reason why Newcastle Falcons have used Abbotts (and will continue to do so) is that the companies they have introduced to the club have all been new businesses. They have greatly helped the club sell our remaining unsold inventory and have also made suggestions on new properties that we might consider developing. I have no hesitation in recommending Abbotts Advertising to other sports clubs. Our relationship has been win-win for all concerned..."
