COMMUNICATIONS

William Scholes - The Irish News

“I’ve worked with Earl many times in recent years on pieces for The Irish News. He has great ideas and, importantly, knows how to get them across to readers of our newspaper. His integrity and commitment to the things that really matter speaks volumes, too.”

Francis Teeney - MD at Mickel Therapy

“I recently wrote a book … published by Oxford University Press and Earl was a great help from day 1 – and the book took about 4 years to write. I have had other dealings with Earl in other fields and on every occasion he has been a great help – nothing is too much trouble.”

Paul McFadden - Leapfrog Communications

“I have known Earl for a number of years and have worked with him quite often. He is a man of considerable ability and impeccable integrity, and is able to bring insight, expertise and – when appropriate – humour to any situation.

Earl also possesses another talent – the ability to think ‘outside the box’. This kind of inventiveness is so often lacking and yet it should be a highly prized asset in creative industry.

I have no hestiation in endorsing a man of Earl’s ability and integrity.”

“Earl has an exceptional ability for raising the profile of issues and organisations. I recommend him to any organisation seeking a communications specialist.

― GERARD DIVER // FORMER MAYOR OF DERRY CITY COUNCIL ―​

“I have been familiar with Earl’s work for a number of years and I never cease to be impressed with his capability and knowledge as a trainer. He brings a wealth of experience not only in the field of PR and communications, but also as a key player in peace building and conflict resolution. I have no hesitation in recommending his work to others.”

“I have always enjoyed working with Earl, he brings a fresh perspective and a strong sense of commitment and purpose.”

David Costelloe - Department of Foreign Affairs

“Earl has has a long commitment in supporting peace initiatives in Ireland and I worked with him on projects in the Diocese of Derry and Raphoe and the Diocese of Cloynes. I was impressed with his commitment to work on a cross community basis to forge new allies in supporting a positive community climate. I liked Earl’s ability to reflect on different viewpoints and find innovative approaches to tackling difficult situations. Earl has a particular strength in giving voice in an assertive manner to minority opinion without it seeming threatening or confrontational to others.”

Liam Clarke (late) - Political Editor Belfast Teleraph & Partner in CJMEDIA

“Earl is great trainer and a talented communicator who knows how to lighten a presentation with just enough humour to help his message along. He is also a man of such obvious integrity and sincerity that that, in itself, commands attention. I worked with Earl on a number of projects delivering training to others, and ended up learning as much from him as the students did from either of us. He has a cool head and is a good person to provide perspective when things get difficult.”

Arthur Barrett - Dean at St Eunan's Cathedral, Raphoe

“Earl worked closely with our parish, with an ability to clearly understand our needs. He provided a creative scheme for our … development plan, with a workable schedule and clear guidelines. His personableness, combined with his professionalism provided us with essential clarity in the early stages of our project”
