Dear Mr. Starky,

Freedom of Information Request

Many thanks for your request for information regarding “The Campaign Company”:

Can you tell me if a company by the name of "The Campaign Company"

registration number 04275708 has undertaken any work for your

organisation since 23/08/2001?

If so, what was the nature of the work undertaken, was the work

satisfactory or met its targets and what was the total cost for the

undertaking of this work?

If said company has undertaken more than one piece of work with

your organisation can you give information for each case

individually?

The Trust can confirm that “The Campaign Company” has worked for us on several occasions to deliver PR services.

The Trust is unable to comment on satisfaction as this would be based on opinion rather than fact.

All other information requested falls under exemption Section 43 Commercial Interests of the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

This completes the Trust response to your request, but please note:
