Testimonials and why clients like to work with us
MMFA is a relatively young organization with just 12 years since its foundation. Since it is run by Feriel and her team (association management) it has become the largest and – more importantly – the most dynamic flooring association in Europe. Feriel not only managed to transform the MMFA into a European-minded organization, she and her team also initiated the transition from a manufacturing association to one with a clear focus on sustainability. Their deep insights and first-hand information from the EU institutions in Brussels are instrumental to understand what is going to happen and help to anticipate the next moves of the MMFA.”
Carl Ruland, Board member MMFA 2018 – 2024, Vice-President Novalis
“SEC Newgate EU has become part of our extended Government Relations family, with a deep knowledge on topics that are critical to our business. Their research and advise is spot on and highly appreciated by our colleagues in the business. The team adapts the messaging, slides, texts to the right audience and level, and are extremely responsive with tight deadlines.”
Sara Rodriguez Martinez, Head of Government Relations for Europe I HP
“SEC Newgate EU is the best partner an organisation can have in Brussels when it comes to media relations. Not only do they have great connections with reporters, they understand what piques the interest of the outlets and the individual journalists and they will guide you to make sure your voice gets noticed (and picked up) amidst the many ones seeking to be in the spotlight. Hiring SEC Newgate EU for media support was the best decision we took many years ago and Victoria leads a team where quality, consistency and dedication have always been at the top.”
Thomas Boué, Director General Policy, EMEA, Business Software Alliance
