Geoff
Hunt, AREVA T&D New Zealand Managing Director
With
over 1,700 employees working in the transport,
electrical, telecommunication and power industries
nationwide, the communication requirements of
AREVA are many and varied.
Hansen McConnell has worked with AREVA since 1995
and over that time has assisted with significant
corporate change management issues, communication
and marketing strategies and employee relations.
Hansen McConnell manages all media relations,
produces AREVA's business-to-business newsletter
and assists with web communications, functions,
conferences and events.
AREVA
also makes use of Hansen McConnell's strong in-house
design team to produce exceptional tender proposals,
brochures, banners, invitations, Christmas cards,
wall panels and more.
"Hansen
McConnell consistently strives to understand the
full circumstances behind each assignment. They
are also very flexible and always able to accommodate
short notice assignments. Their advice is excellent,
their competency very broad-based and the results
superb."
Peter
Young, St Andrew's Board Chairman
After
receiving a $10 million donation in 2001 St Andrew's
Village, a not-for-profit charitable trust, decided
to embark on a fundraising campaign to raise a
further $6 million to replace its 40-year old
rest home and hospital buildings.
Working with St Andrew's fundraising committees
and fundraising consultant Gordon Trevett, Hansen
McConnell has played a key role in the Appeal
thus far. In the initial stages, Hansen McConnell
undertook preliminary research into community
attitudes and perceptions and produced a strategic
communications plan for St Andrew's to help them
achieve their fundraising objectives.
Ongoing work has included developing a brand for
the Appeal, creating media opportunities, managing
three fundraising committees, launching the Home
and Hospital Appeal with an official event, organising
fundraising luncheons and producing communications
material such as newsletters, pledge forms and
brochures.
Hansen McConnell continues to provide public relations
and marketing services to support the work of
St Andrew's development officer.
"The
enthusiasm, efficiency and energy of the Hansen
McConnell team has both impressed and assisted
me in the Home and Hospital Appeal."
