Q-Park
Q-Park decided to accelerate its market entry into NI. A key part of this process was to identify the key influencers and decision makers across a broad spectrum of industry sectors including Public Sector, Corporate Finance and Property Development. NB1 was instrumental in making this happen and Noel Brady's little black book of contacts was invaluable to us in securing senior level meetings. There is no doubt that working with Noel accelerated our business plans in NI by at least 18 months. His professionalism & speed of response so impressed some of our clients that they have also retained the services of Nb1.

Kainos
Kainos has used NB1 to help formulate our sales strategy for public sector within Northern Ireland. This strategy is already bearing fruit and has resulted in a clearer focus and increased value engagements for our sales team. We found Noel’s knowledge and experience of public sector to be invaluable, and his approach to be refreshingly simple and direct.

Ianet
As an American-based company brought over to develop a project with several government agencies and NGOs, we started at a disadvantage because we didn't know the key players or the cultural 'rules of engagement'. Noel was instrumental in opening the right doors, putting us in touch with the right people, and helping us understand how the game is played here in Northern Ireland. And even in a country where everyone seems to be acquainted, Noel stands out because he *really* knows everybody!

Aurion Learning
"In recent years Aurion Learning has become recognised as one of the key players in the eLearning Industry both in the UK and Ireland. To ensure the Company continued to grow we required a complete strategic review of existing operations and a new business plan to help us achieve our long term goals.
We decided that some external expertise was required to help us address key issues around New Product Development, Pricing and Export strategy. Noel met with the Aurion team on a number of occasions and his support and advice has been instrumental in helping us to re-think our approach to some of these key issues. Noel's approach is very honest and refreshing and we would highly recommend Consult Nb1 to other businesses who require high quality independent external support.

Duffy Rafferty Communications
"Duffy Rafferty Communications’ association with NB1 has been one of the most important and indeed enjoyable developments for DRC in recent months. In addition to the significant and highly influential network which Noel has cultivated over many years, his business development skill and advice for growth has been a key element in helping DRC move to the next level in its expansion programme. Noel’s enthusiasm and energy for business development is infectious almost to the point of obsession - a great asset for any developing organisation.”

Foyle Technologies Ltd
Foyle Technologies had been trading for three years before I met Noel of Nb1. We had achieved a satisfactory level of success for a company of our size but our problem was that we were relatively unknown within the IT sector on the island of Ireland. We had a small number of both clients and partners. What we needed was to get ourselves and our products better known within the IT community and to place our Data Quality offerings in front of the decision makers in both the public and private sectors.
Working with Noel Brady of Nb1 was the perfect solution.
Noel brings a breadth of experience of working within the IT and Government sectors in Ireland and the UK over many years. He is highly respected within the IT community and his endorsement of our Data Quality and Application Integration solution using our “Matchsoft” product has opened many doors for our company.
I look forward to maintaining our relationship with Nb1 in the coming years.

SureSkills Ltd
During 2006 SureSkills targeted NI to grow our Managed Training business. Based on advice and recommendations we engaged Noel Brady (NB1) to mentor and grow our profile and business. His ability to rapidly gain knowledge of our business to accurately portray and explain our solutions and competitive advantage has directly contributed to the speed with which we achieved results and greater market share. His enthusiasm and focus on our needs, his market knowledge and business awareness have been significant contributing factors to the success of our growth strategy. Dealing with Noel has been such a positive and enjoyable experience that we have expanded the original remit and are currently working together on other areas of our business across the island of Ireland.
Based on the ongoing success of our relationship with Noel I have and will continue to strongly recommend him at every opportunity to any organisation seeking to expand and develop their business in Northern Ireland.
