What clients say...

“Our advisor, Rob Robinson (of Rob Robinson Heritage Consulting) was courteous, thorough and very encouraging throughout.  We are all agreed that, without him, we probably wouldn't have completed the very long and complicated COF application process.  We can't praise Rob Robinson highly enough.”

Eleanor, St Ernans by the Loch regarding the COF application support 

Huge thanks for all efforts on the bid – it’s been a pleasure! Your input has been absolutely invaluable . . . not least in keeping me sane! 

Sarah Christie, Cultural Services Manager, Inverclyde Council (successful NLHF application for Connecting Inverclyde’s Heritage: possibility, partnership and purpose)

Thanks for pulling all this together. It was a great, enthusiastic and productive discussion. Your summary is fantastic, what a great project and people engagement session we had.

Janey McCreath, Chair Dynamic Dunure (Dunure project development and NLHF Expression of Interest) 

You were an incredible and very valuable help to us over the years and we truly are so grateful - right from the early days

Julie and Donald Riddell, Highland Safaris (almost 20 years of consultancy and business development)

Great stuff, Rob. Thanks for all your assistance over the last 35 years developing this project. I'm very happy you applied for the job (although you may be questioning your life choices by now). Cheers

David Clyne, Project Manager Heritage Horizons Cairngorms 2030 (Project development and NLHF application) 

"Many thanks for your support and unwavering commitment to our project.  Who knew, when we started, that a six month project would extend into almost two years.  Your enthusiasm and advice has been fabulous and hugely appreciated.  Indeed, was a bright part of the whole COVID experience . . . clever old me for finding you!"

Sarah Macdonald, Project Manager, Selkirk Means Business (Selkirk and the Haining Feasibility Study) 

"Thank you so much for everything and especially being so patient!!  I think we all knew this would not be the easiest report but working with you has made it a lot less stressful / painful than it could have been – so that is to your credit!"

Caitriona MacCuish, Museum Development Officer, Museum nan Eilean (Outer Hebrides Heritage Audit)

"When you said we had a lot of work to do, you weren’t joking!  But it’s been such a pleasure and you’ve made it so easy.  Instantly, you brought much-needed clarity and focus.  Your coaching ability has been fantastic, teamed with bags of moral support.  You’ve motivated and enabled me to achieve higher standards of work, and working as a team, we’ve got there!  I feel really proud of what we’ve achieved in such a relatively short space of time" 

Carolyn Robertson, Cairngorms Capercaillie Project (Project Plan and Stage Two NLHF application)
