“I would unreservedly commend Tom Buncle to any country that wishes to make its mark on the international stage.

Tom understands the formula for improving international competitiveness. …….

He never loses sight of the ultimate goal of economic growth. He works tirelessly to deliver results. ……………….And he takes local stakeholders with him through a combination of demonstrable expertise, determination, respect and sensitivity. ………………….I believe that Tom's approach, his extensive insight, and his willingness to go that extra mile, provide far greater value for any country wishing to develop a nation brand than many multi-national branding consultancies generally provide.”

Gideon Shilongo, Chief Executive Officer, Namibia Tourism Board

(Destination brand for Namibia)

“Tom has always been inspirational to work with and brings a wealth of global knowledge and experience to the table…………………………………..

He also uses his wealth of global contacts to build project teams to meet a very precise brief and does not provide ‘off-the-shelf’ solutions. .…………………………

Tom recently helped us to create a new five-year vision and destination management plan for Greenwich, which has been very well received……………………………

I would have no hesitation in recommending Yellow Railroad for any management or marketing brief which relates to places.”

Barrie Kelly, Chief Executive, Visit Greenwich

(Destination management plan for Greenwich)

“For a demanding scope of work in a difficult environment he produced all of the stipulated deliverables with a quality that exceeded our expectations. He fully understood the task and took the initiative, and was well-regarded by our project staff and local government counterparts………………….…………………………..

For this reason, I would give you my strongest recommendations for Tom Buncle.

I would immediately seek to hire him again if the opportunity arose.”

“Tom's work was extremely valuable to LWF and its members. He was able to achieve a great deal during his very short consultancy and his work was of the highest quality.

He was able to instil confidence amongst our tourism members on the importance of branding and destination marketing, and his visit created a sense of unity and purpose that we are positive will lead to real and sustained action to market Laikipia as a destination.”

Dr. Anthony King, Executive Director, Laikipia Wildlife Forum, Kenya

“Throughout the campaign Tom gave a thoroughly professional performance. He was indefatigable, undertook every task with immense enthusiasm and demonstrated total commitment. …………His desire to overcome problems was a strength that ensured that the whole project was a success story.”
