Gemma and her team have been a pleasure to work with. Through our 3 month onboarding period and beyond, they have helped us to build our admissions processes within HubSpot and also to develop our own understanding of the system. Without our weekly meetings and the work that HubGem have done outside of those meetings, we would have struggled to onboard the CRM to meet our required deadlines.

Jo Graham

Head of Admissions | Access Creative College

HubGem have been amazing. This is the business' first ever CRM tool being introduced which involves masses of data being migrated, teams trained, new processes introduced. The patience and professionalism they have is unrivalled, and they can't do enough to help. We've come so far with their support, we've even added extra hours on outside of our onboarding period because of how invaluable it is.
