Dear Editor I just received the launch issue of Engage Magazine and it really made my day. I was very pleasantly surprised to find a solid, independent magazine. I congratulate you for your integrity.
For example, the feature articles on procurement. I found these informative, positive and down to earth. I enjoyed the graphics and the general look and feel of the magazine and I found the step-by-step handy hints and instructions very easy to read and well written.
It is one of the first magazines that I have read cover to cover in a long time. I can’ t praise you enough for a job well done. All of the articles in the issue were truly outstanding.
Dear Editor I am in the process of starting up my business and I must say that I found your magazine to be really informative and interesting.
I know that the issue of supplier diversity is fairly new in the UK and I think that a magazine such as yours is the perfect vehicle through which business owners, large contractors and others can learn and begin to understand what it is all about and how important it is for ethnic minority businesses in the UK.
A great magazine. Keep up the good work!

Dear Editor I am an employee of a city based insurance company( a company that purchases a significant amount of procurement services). Engage magazine provided me with the opportunity to add the diversity issue to the company’ s agenda.
Engage has given me the business case and the confidence to highlight the need for inclusion of BAME businesses in all areas of our organisation, and without attending the networking event and obtaining a copy of the magazine I would have not been confident enough to highlight this issue to our senior management team. So thank you for providing these insights and I very much look forward to receiving the next issue.

Dear Gloria Just a short note to say I really enjoyed reading Engage. I would also like to praise the look and the feel of the magazine which has taken pride of place on my coffee table. I have subscribed on your website and look forward to receiving future copies.

As a small business owner in London I must say there isn’ t another magazine out there that comes close to doing what you do. Please keep up the good work and let me know how to subscribe.

The magazine also provided a strong argument for the inclusion of BAME businesses to the procurement chain. A much stronger argument than I could make alone! With some of the influential organisations supporting the magazine via advertising or sponsorship this too provided a convincing argument as to why companies such as mine should be
Dear Editor Congratulations on a well written, exciting and informative publication. One constructive comment; I would like to see more case studies on start-ups as there is a lot to learn in sharing of experiences – once again, well done.
