Dear Editor I just received the launch issue of Engage Magazine and it really made my day . I was very pleasantly surprised to find a solid , independent magazine . I congratulate you for your integrity .
For example , the feature articles on procurement . I found these informative , positive and down to earth . I enjoyed the graphics and the general look and feel of the magazine and I found the step-by-step handy hints and instructions very easy to read and well written .
It is one of the first magazines that I have read cover to cover in a long time . I can ’ t praise you enough for a job well done . All of the articles in the issue were truly outstanding .
Dear Editor I am in the process of starting up my business and I must say that I found your magazine to be really informative and interesting .
I know that the issue of supplier diversity is fairly new in the UK and I think that a magazine such as yours is the perfect vehicle through which business owners , large contractors and others can learn and begin to understand what it is all about and how important it is for ethnic minority businesses in the UK .
A great magazine . Keep up the good work !

Dear Editor I am an employee of a city based insurance company ( a company that purchases a significant amount of procurement services ). Engage magazine provided me with the opportunity to add the diversity issue to the company ’ s agenda .
Engage has given me the business case and the confidence to highlight the need for inclusion of BAME businesses in all areas of our organisation , and without attending the networking event and obtaining a copy of the magazine I would have not been confident enough to highlight this issue to our senior management team . So thank you for providing these insights and I very much look forward to receiving the next issue .
Regards , Amanda Toussaint

The magazine also provided a strong argument for the inclusion of BAME businesses to the procurement chain . A much stronger argument than I could make alone ! With some of the influential organisations supporting the magazine via advertising or sponsorship this too provided a convincing argument as to why companies such as mine should be
Dear Editor Congratulations on a well written , exciting and informative publication . One constructive comment ; I would like to see more case studies on start-ups as there is a lot to learn in sharing of experiences – once again , well done .
