One of CTT’s mail clients is GOSH, the Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s (www.gosh.org) Kathy Chellew, web editor at GOSH says, “CTT has held our hand while we tentatively dipped our toes in the e-newsletter waters. We've been so pleased by the experience that we're expanding our range of e-newsletters."

Howard Lake, a leading figure in new media fundraising in the sector is also a user of CTT’s mail service for his site.  Lake says "UK Fundraising (www.fundraising.co.uk) has used CTT's email marketing tools for four years and our fortnightly email newsletter is an essential element of driving repeat and sustained traffic to our site. The excellent quality of the tool, its reporting services and registered user management facilities have simplified the whole publishing process and freed us up to concentrate on further developing the website's content."
