CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

"WE WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM"
NERINE SKINNER | CO-DIRECTOR | SKEWED PRODUCTIONS LTD
Antony has played a vital role in progressing the cabaret group that I have co-created into a professional entity. He has helped in many ways, however, fundamentally he has provided us with extensive information that has enabled us to understand areas of the industry that would be impossible to do on our own.
​
Antony has taken us from just a "group" to a limited company. In doing this he supplied the relevant legal documents to protect our intellectual property, royalty pool agreement, and partnership agreement and has been present in important meetings, in order to fully understand our position and how to move forward to achieve the best results for us. It is clear to say we would not be in our current position without Antony's help. We would highly recommend him.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

"A FOUNTAIN OF KNOWLEDGE"
MARTHA LOADER | CO-DIRECTOR | TUSK
Made possible via The Mercury Creatives Programme - Mercury Theatre Colchester
Antony is a wonderful Mentor.
​
He is hugely supportive of my work and tailors his consultancy to best meet my needs. He has helped me to find opportunities to expand and diversify my theatre company and freelance writing at a time of great uncertainty. He is a fountain of knowledge and I would highly recommend him.

"hardworking navigator"
KATE MILLNER & MICHAEL PARKER | AT SWEFN'S EDGE
Made possible via The Mercury Creatives Programme - Mercury Theatre Colchester
At Swefn's Edge are so extremely lucky to have been allocated Antony Stuart-Hicks (ASH) as our mentor on the Creative's Programme for the Mercury Theatre Colchester. To simply state that he has been, thus far, a wonderful mentor, would be an understatement.
​
ASH has inspired both of us to such an unexpected high level over the last three months. Our productivity has gone through the rough with his support; our audience reach across social media platforms is on the up with his help and we have begun to develop new skills in pitching and creating/initiating advertising campaigns which we have already put in practise. Every time we say "We have another idea!" rather than running for the hills - ASH is always very eager to hear what we are wanting to try next.
​
We have quickly secured a trust in his suggestions and a respect for his opinions. We value his honesty, experience and personable nature. We know that we would never be able to find a more suitable and hard-working navigator.

"EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE"
SUZIE KIRK DUMITRU | CONSULTANT | ARTS & HOMELESSNESS INTERNational
​
Huge thanks to Antony for his support and advice with some contractual work I was doing for a client. Antony offered to review an existing agreement template for me and responded very promptly with a clear and thorough set of suggested updates and amendments, based on his own extensive experience. I found his advice very useful in ensuring that our documentation was up-to-date and fit for purpose.

"THOROUGH AMENDMENTS"
LUCY KNIGHT | CO-DIRECTOR | WRIGGLE DANCE THEATRE

Antony was quick to kindly offer help when finding ourselves having to rework our contracts due to Covid-19.
Antony offered to review our existing contract and has given thorough amendments to enhance and strengthen them. Very much appreciated.

"AN INVALUABLE HELP"

​
Antony was an invaluable help in preparing us for our first open-air concerts.
​
He was generous with his time and thorough in his advice, covering all we needed to know to ensure a successful series of
performances. I cannot recommend him enough!

RACHAEL VEASEY | ARTISTIC DIRECTOR | DEAF EXPLORER CIC
​
Deaf Explorer is a small producing company working with profoundly Deaf artists.

Antony's contractual advice and support were invaluable, and his suggestions helped strengthen our contracts, ensuring that we are compliant. Antony gave us efficient, same-day delivery helping us issue contracts for an R&D the same week.
