  • I have worked with Michael and the team at Northern Insight for a number of years now. They are a delight to work with, helpful, flexible and reliable. Michael is an excellent Account Manager. It has been great to see the publication grow over this time too. We are happy to be working with Northern Insight again this year.

  • I have known Managing Director, Mike Grahamslaw for many years now and have featured regularly in his recent venture Northern Insight. During this period he has unfailingly demonstrated a unique set of attributes which always makes him a pleasure to do business with. Firstly, Mike displays an extraordinary array of customer service skills by dealing with all calls with enthusiasm, efficiency and professionalism alongside going above and beyond the call of duty in order to ensure his clients are happy. This is, in my opinion, a rare quality found in society today. In addition to this, Mike exhibits courtesy, politeness and extreme confidence when dealing with any matter. He possesses high levels of integrity and empathy and has unquestionably treated me with total respect during my dealings with him which is incredibly endearing quality. He strives hard to meet deadlines and by nature is an exceptionally trustworthy and sincere person. An inherently nice guy who deserves to succeed in business.

  • Mike and I go back a long way – I was Editor of Northern Executive, a quarterly engineering magazine and he was working for North East Times when we first met way back in the mid  90’s. – we were both NUFC, rugby and real ale fans, Geordies who believed in straight talk  and I liked him straight away.

    New agencies and new media have sprung up in this digital age but we have the advantage of experience of the pre-digital era when marketing and publishing were very different and relied on honesty and transparency with contacts, and skill and effort at work.

    The technology may have changed but those values haven’t, which is maybe why we’re both still in the business when others have come and gone…

They are professional, easy to talk to and nothing is too much trouble for them. We will continue to work with Northern Insight for the foreseeable future and never have any problems recommending their services.

  • I have  known Mike Grahamslaw since his embryo entry into the world of magazine publishing at North East Times proceeding through the various stages of his eminent career. I was pleased to write a monthly column for him in Accent for many years and was delighted to accept his invitation to contribute a monthly Comment column in Northern Insight when he established it. N I is very highly regarded as an excellent business magazine and is at the top of the game.

    It is always a great pleasure to work with Mike. He encourages freedom in the columns and ensures there is time allowed for  the page to be set up in good time for publication.
