"A first-class trainer who combines up-to-the-minute media know-how with the ability to understand and run with an organisation's current hot issues" Joanna Wyn Communications Director- Cotwolds Primary Care Trust

"Training is much too limiting a word to capture the spirit of Malcolm Love’s communication sessions. He goes far beyond the conventional mix of ‘hints and tips’ Learning new skills works best in an atmosphere of confidence-building, adventure and empowerment – qualities which Malcolm generates in abundance"
Dr Jeff Thomas Head of the Centre for Science Education The Open University, UK
  

"Malcolm's energy and commitment to his medium makes him a joy to work with. I've been hosting radio training sessions with him for several years.
