Everyone at the company pulled out all the stops and kindly donated time and indeed, money, to produce an absolutely fantastic suite of marketing goods, which we can take to the many public events we run throughout the county – the banners, t-shirts, balloons and other items were brilliantly designed, ordered and delivered to us – we cannot thank PDS enough. We have been hugely impressed by the quality of work and of course, the generosity and commitment shown to us and the fight for better mental health.”
