“At the Drapers Fashion Summit, October 2005 in London, speakers were rated from 1-4, with 1 as poor and 4 as excellent. GDR's scores were: Content: 3.4 and Presentation: 3.7”

Karen Hutt, Conference Producer

“Seeing design excellence across diverse disciplines is invaluable. Whether it's creative, commercial or 'blue sky design' - we always find GDR’s presentation inspirational, thought provoking and commercially relevant to our ongoing design strategy.”
