​
Dr Anthony Bradlow - Consultant in Rheumatology and General Internal Medicine with late career experience in health informatics. Board member of Arthros
"For almost a year Engagement Solutions (Martha Cox and Julie Close) have been supporting the trustees of Arthros, an arthritis charity in Reading, Berkshire, to modernise and reconfigure the charity.
Engagement Solutions have been particularly effective at helping Arthros to redefine its goals and activities by researching the needs of local people with arthritis,providing invaluable assistance with recruitment of new trustees, writing new policies for the charity and organising training days for the trustees.
They have been invaluable in all these roles to the extent that we at Arthros have asked them to stay on to provide continuing medium term support.
We would not have been able to achieve what we have done without the calm and friendly help of Martha and Julie."

Charlotte Webster-Gorman - Principle Service Manager at Peopletoo
"I had the pleasure of working closely with Martha on various projects for local authorities. I found her a fantastic communicator and easy to get along with. She was professional with clients and still very approachable. We worked with a variety of stakeholders in the council, as well as local parent forums and school children. She adapted her style and planning to meet the needs of the groups to get the best results from our time with them.
I would happily recommend Martha on any engagement work and look forward to working with her again in the future."

Sarah Berry - Management Accountant at Natural Resources Wales. Treasurer of Arthros.
I can highly recommend Martha Cox at Engagement Solutions. They have been exceptional in supporting our charity, Arthros, through a crucial period of refresh and refocus. Martha supported us through trustee recruitment, improving our policy frameworks, and re-energizing our efforts to better serve the community.
She has played a key role in helping us navigate these changes with professionalism and expertise.
Throughout the process, Martha has demonstrated an impressive ability to listen, collaborate, and bring out the best in our diverse team. Their dedication to helping us create lasting, positive change has made a significant impact on our organisation. We are incredibly grateful for their support, and I have no hesitation in recommending them to any organisation.

"We worked with Martha for two consecutive years to deliver our annual service feedback project, which included focus groups and a customer survey.
Martha was instrumental in helping us plan, deliver, and analyse the project. Her experience ensured everything ran smoothly and produced meaningful insights. She facilitated the focus groups with skill and professionalism, and the findings have been invaluable in shaping and improving our business support programmes.
We would be delighted to work with Martha again in the future."​

Julie Close - Freelance consultant
"Martha is an experienced community engagement and patient voice professional. We first worked together when we were both contracted by Sirona Care and Health. We found that our skills and experience were complementary and a good combination.
Our partnership work has continued with a contract with a small charity in Reading. Again, our shared skills were beneficial and we believe we've delivered a great result for our client, with a new Business strategy, Comms plan and 5 new Trustees.
Martha is a complete professional, reliable, enthusiastic about the work she takes on and she pays great attention to detail. She has strong communication skills both in writing and verbally. She's a confident presenter and facilitator. I hope that we will continue to work together."
