re: Jonathan Ratner, Oakwood Consultancy
I confirm that Jonathan worked at Start Creative Limited on a part-time basis from December 2005 to February 2007 as a marketing consultant.
Jonathan’s principal role was to follow up on leads generated by the senior directors, but to also develop his own leads and help build our new business pipeline. He is a reliable, honest and hard working person, and had a good working relationship with his colleagues. I would recommend Jonathan to anyone requiring new business generation services and skills.
Yours faithfully,
Mike Curtis

Re: Jonathan Ratner - Oakwood Consultancy
To whom it may concern
Jonathan has worked with mworldwide to generate new business meetings in the very competitive sector of UK retail. We have been impressed by his tenacity, organisation and process that has led to significant success to date.
Jonathan is a hard working individual who was very quickly up to speed in understanding our offer. He has constructed very compelling propositions which obviously tap a nerve with potential clients.
I’m happy to recommend Jonathan and also happy to supply any further information through the email below.

This is a testimonial from a brand development consultancy whose services are charged out from between £20,000 to £150,000 per project.
re: the Oakwood Consultancy
Jonathan Ratner of Oakwood Consulting [sic] has worked with The Brand Works for sometime. During this period we have found him to be a great asset to the business development ambitions of the company.
His great strength is his ability to combine his natural skill on the phone, for delivering new business appointments, with the diligence needed to properly research and qualify the target. Unusually, he is then able to go out and represent our company in a wholly appropriate way.
When Jonathan is driving our new business programme I know the appointments will be made and the company professionally represented all the way through the process.

Re: Jonathan Ratner
I have first hand experience of Jonathan Ratner’s sales style as he spent a period of two months persuading me that what our highly sucessful agency needed was a dedicated new business person to offset the efforts of our account teams.
As the ‘victim’ of his approach I can confirm that he is both persistent and charming, managing to combine a hard nosed new business approach with a knowledge of the business he is approaching to give him credibility.
Having him on board has opened doors that would have remained firmly closed to us – he has secured us appointments with a substantial selection of the top 100 companies in the UK and his attention to detail in both following up leads and meeting preperation have been invaluable.
Jonathan has allowed us a new business resource that does not impinge upon our major clients who take up the majority of our time.
I have no hesitation in recommending Jonathan as a New Business resource and would welcome the chance to discuss further if required.
Sincerely,
Oliver Russell

Jonathan and I worked together in national newspaper display sales a few years back, so I had a good understanding of his skills and operating style before we started working together again more recently.
I now run a publishing company with six titles, consumer and B2B, as well as producing a number of contract publishing solutions for key clients within the UK property new build sector.
I needed a particular type of person to help me move my business forward. I took Jonathan on, through his company the Oakwood Consultancy, to help me re-organise, motivate and provide a strategic direction for my sales teams.
Not only has he helped me considerably with these elements but with more besides, allowing me to concentrate my efforts elsewhere, freeing my time to develop other areas of my business that would have otherwise had to remain un-chartered without having Jonathan on board.
Jonathan is more than a safe pair of hands. He’s a good communicator, an original thinker and gets the job done.
The Oakwood Consultancy has proved to be an invaluable, flexible and reliable resource that I can tap into to help drive through various commercial projects, business development drives and team building exercises, as and when needed.
I have no hesitation in recommending the Oakwood Consultancy as a professional, creative and commercial business development resource and will be happy to discuss this reference with you.

re: Jonathan Ratner
Jonathan was employed by Leighton Media over a six-month period starting November 2001. During that time he demonstrated a consistent ability to open doors with key players within sectors that we were looking to target.
Those sectors included football, music, entertainment and e-commerce and examples are as follows: the Football Association, BMG, UIP and Charles Tyrwhitt. Unfortunately this was at a time where market conditions were not in our favour and, being a North East based company, decided strategically to concentrate within the region where we previously had most success.
I have no hesitation in recommending Jonathan as an entrepreneurial business developer who can think laterally to help create opportunities. His tenacity, and energy mixed with the fact that he, very quickly, became a valued and popular member of our team meant that we were sad to let him go.
I understand he has now set himself up as an independent business developer through his company the Oakwood Consultancy and have no hesitation in recommending Jonathan to you. I am in no doubt that he can use his skill in creating opportunities for almost any company with a business-to-business sales need, especially within media.
I will be happy to answer any questions about Jonathan’s time at Leighton and wish him well for his new consultancy business.
Yours faithfully,
Jonni Murphy

re: the Oakwood Consultancy
Esprit Communications was looking to develop its MegaVision Marketing division and we needed to sell to a number of blue chip companies within the outdoor advertising, petrol forecourt and multiple retail sectors with which we had no previous contact.
Jonathan, through the Oakwood Consultancy, has been working for MegaVision for only one day a week for five weeks now. During that time Jonathan has set up well-qualified meetings with the following companies. I now have an on-going relationship with all of them.
Viacom Outdoor, Oddbins, Murco Petroleum, Electronic Boutique and the Royal Bank of Scotland.
There are also several other meetings that have been created that are coming up over the next few weeks, as well as a number of relationships that Jonathan has established for us, from which I am certain new channels of business will open for MegaVision.
I have no hesitation in recommending Jonathan as an impressive business developer and feel he can use his expertise to good effect in almost any business to business sales environment.
Please contact me if you would like to discuss this reference in more detail.
Yours faithfully,
