Bio
Mark Wildman
Working with Chris and Mat from Prominent Tenders has been a real industry adventure, all positive. We learned a lot together and very much looked at these guys as an extensive of our team at SLT promoting, pre-sales and launch of £80m Sandwell Aquatic Centre, the newest and largest facility of its kind in Europe. The positive challenge backed up with industry intel and experience is terrific and I am sure we will work together again, loving your work guys.

Having had the pleasure of working with Mat for over 4 years, i can honestly say he is great guy and a very talented and skilled marketeer. His strategic approach to marketing was essential to making the company grow, and we couldn't have done it without him. Mat is a great communicator, always ensuring everyone is on the same page and focused on achieving the same goal. This meant collaboration was always smooth (and fun!), and we achieved some great results. I wouldn't hesitate to give Mat a call again and talk through our marketing plans!

I have had the pleasure of working with Mathew for the past 11 years and over the entire time he has always respected, valued and supported the creative process and the entire team involved. Briefs were thorough and clearly communicated yet Mathew was always open and receptive to exploring new ideas. Mathew would always be curious yet listen first to understand the vision and thinking before giving reasoned and honest feedback to support further development. Mathew’s ability to listen without ego enabled a strong creative partnership to flourish which was reflected in the quality of creative work we were able to deliver. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Mathew over the last 11 years and can wholeheartedly recommend him as a client and marketing communications manager!
