“We initially approached Ben over 10 years ago to help for a couple of hours a month to keep our website up to date with the latest product ranges, news feed and case studies.
As we wanted to ensure all forms of marketing told a cohesive story we involved Ben more and more in linking our print advertising to our electronic marketing and as time went on we have involved him more and more to help with moving our marketing strategy forward.
Ben currently manages all aspects of our marketing and PR which includes advert designs for local and national press, all our social media channels as well as maintaining our current websites.
In 2014 thanks in no small part to Ben we won the NEFF national industry award ‘Best use of Advertising, Marketing & Social Media’ and again in 2015.
Our business has grown from a medium sized single showroom kitchen retailer turning over £1,000,000 In 2012, to a two showroom plus contracts division now turning over in excess of £2.8 P.A. As an SME we don’t have the resources and can’t justify the expense of a full-time marketing department so outsourcing such an important function has been key to our success.
I believe Ben has been an important investment for our business in helping us to grow, he doesn’t just react to our own demands but is pro-active in making suggestions and providing creative input.
He reminds us when things need to be done and is excellent at working to tight deadlines.
His cost to us is relatively small, probably less than an average advert in a local paper per week, but the benefits are invaluable.”

“Frankenman are delighted to partner with Ben at Cumbria Creative in the design and launch of our new Website www.frankenman.com in September 2019. Ben’s expertise in both design and Social Media make for a perfect partnership. The platform will be updated constantly to better connect us with our global community of surgeons, healthcare providers and professional distribution partners. We appreciate that global technology is evolving, and we strive to adapt our communication in line with current trends in technology and social media. Frankenman.com will evolve into a platform where we can share best practice, news from our community and connect surgery on a global scale. Our rapidly growing “Frankenman Academy” events will be detailed, and delegates can register online via our booking portal. We will showcase this concept of Global connectivity in our upcoming Satellite Symposium at the World Renowned ESCP (European Society of Coloproctology) Congress in Vienna, September 2019. A first of its kind symposium will connect surgeons via different social media platforms, live, from China, Europe and the USA. You will be able to follow this session on twitter using #ESCPSilkRoad”

“IAC Acoustics was in need of a new web site. We had been dealing with a medium sized website design company in the past but wanted to go to market to see if we could get a better quality of service. We analysed 3 companies, of which Cumbria Creative were chosen. Out of all of the companies, Cumbria Creative was the smallest, and we considered he had a passion to understand our business and take ownership of the task of marketing and promoting IAC Acoustics. Our choice has not failed us. Ben has worked hard to develop SEO for our chosen search terms, and we consistently reach high rankings in Google searches. He has also developed Facebook, Linked In, Instagram and Twitter accounts where he posts regular updates and keeps our presence fresh. We recently acquired a new company and Ben has been working hard to create a new website for them. I can vouch for Ben’s integrity and passion for delivery of an exceptional service.”

“IAC Acoustics saw the need to modernise their dated and non-user friendly web site. Three organisations were interviewed for the exercise, two large corporate web site designers and Ben Davies- McChesney. It was clear to the IAC team from the start that we were just another client to the corporate designers, but Ben with the same brief had refreshing ideas and clearly wanted to be an integral part of the IAC family. The new site is just about to go live, we are really pleased with the way Ben has developed the site. He has bought new thinking, with his philosophy of getting involved to understand our business working from the inside, not looking in. We would have no hesitation in recommending Ben’s style and flair to anyone.”
