Aldmere Ltd
Clear communications. Useful digital tools.
We help organisations communicate well, through practical consultancy and digital products built for the job.
We work with voluntary bodies, membership organisations, and small businesses that need their communications to actually do something.
What we do
We do two things, and they reinforce each other.
Communications Consultancy
We help organisations work out what they want to say, who they want to say it to, and how to do it without wasting effort.
Typical work includes:
- Communications strategy and audit
- Brand development and guidelines
- Editorial planning for newsletters, magazines, and podcasts
- Internal and member communications
- Campaign and event communications
We bring senior project and commercial experience to the table, so the advice is grounded in delivery, not theory.
Digital Products
We build and operate small, focused web products. Each one is designed to solve a specific communications problem simply.
Our current product is Pinboardly, a hosted noticeboard platform for community groups, clubs, and voluntary organisations to publish notes, links, and events on one easy-to-manage public page.
How we work
We keep things deliberately straightforward.
- Scoped properly We agree what's in and what isn't before we start.
- Fixed fees where possible Retainers where the work is ongoing. Day rates only where genuinely needed.
- Plain English No jargon, no surprises, no padding the invoice.
- Independent We don't subcontract to people you haven't met.
We're intentionally small. That's a feature, not an apology: it means the person you brief is the person doing the work.
Who we work with
We work with organisations that take their communications seriously but don't have the in-house capacity to do everything themselves. That includes:
- Voluntary and membership organisations: charities, fraternal bodies, clubs, and community groups
- Small and owner-managed businesses: particularly those with a specialist product, technical service, or B2B offering that needs explaining well
- Organisations launching something new: campaigns, products, events, or fundraising appeals
About Aldmere
Aldmere Ltd is a UK-registered limited company based in the North East of England.
We combine senior communications and commercial experience with practical digital delivery. Our directors bring a background in project management, commercial management, and communications work, including extensive involvement in voluntary-sector communications.
Where projects need it, we build the digital infrastructure to support the work. Where they don't, we'll tell you honestly that an off-the-shelf tool will do the job better.
We're product-led, technically focused, and intentionally small, so clients deal directly with the people doing the work.
