"Gareth managed many projects for me in Scotland over the last few years for CRUK and I found him a very reliable, trustworthy project/marketing manager.
The level and standard of service and knowledge was always of the highest standards.
​I wish him well in his new venture. "
The Tempting Tattie
"We were recommended by another business in Edinburgh to use ProActive. We have had a few marketing companies promise results and have been let down.
​
After the first chat with Gareth, he clearly listened to what we wanted to achieve, he then researched our industry. From the very start we noticed a great return!
​
So many customers would comment about the marketing and how great it is, even from everywhere as he'd specifically managed to target our ideal audience. We even had an issue with roadworks that hugely caused issues with footfall, Gareth produced an idea that was outside the box that worked incredibly well. We can't endorse Proactive enough"

"ProActive has recently created a
new website for us. We honestly
could not recommend them enough.
Gareth got to know about our
business and then ran with it.
The ideas, creation and designs are
fantastic.
The number of amazing comments
we've had has been great!
After over 40 years in business we
have had multiple companies
approach us for websites or
marketing. ProActive have been
first-class"
John Bissett,
JDB All Trades
"Gareth looked after JDB's sales & marketing from its creation.
I can't recommend Gareth enough for marketing, JDB has become one of the most recognised trades in central Scotland & his strategies played a key role in this.
We have managed to be fortunate to have a social media presence that has one of the highest traffic in the Central belt, Gareth was mainly responsible for achieving that"
Rod Stevenson,
The Complete Door Store
"ProActive started looking after our marketing around a year ago. Since they took over this, the results have been incredible.
​
The ideas and thinking outside of the box have made a real impact.
The biggest asset has been how much they have wanted to get to know our business, by doing this has been a fantastic help in multiple ways"
Steven Yule,
Gas Assured Fife
"The hardest part with most businesses is getting time to cover every angle. I know I can trust ProActive with our Marketing.
I simply let them get on with it and, the results are outstanding, I can't recommend enough if you want great ideas to grow, no hassles and more business"
