Alan Slater, Chief Executive, National Association of Funeral Directors:

“Our work requires a great deal of emotional fluency and sensitivity, but like every other business, funeral directors can also be detrimentally affected by changes to legislation and by the actions and attitude of people in Parliament.

“The consultancy team at Ranelagh International made a real and lasting difference to our lobbying successes in Westminster and Whitehall on a number of fronts. Their counsel and support was invaluable in building upon, and maintaining, strong relationships with Parliamentarians of all backgrounds.

"Ranelagh gave us advance warning of problems on the horizon, worked with us to establish ambitious strategies, and then steered us through the maze of Parliamentary and Whitehall procedures to secure the desired result.

The National Association of Funeral Directors owes a deep debt of gratitude to the consultants of Ranelagh International.”
