Orchard Partnership - Beacon CRM Service Partner Directory

About Orchard Partnership

Andrew has over 30 years experience in the charity sector, as a founder, trustee and volunteer. After implementing Beacon CRM for the charity he helped found, he became a Beacon Partner assisting other charities in their journey.

My career as a data analyst and software developer enables me to understand and solve issues with data cleansing, migrating from exiting systems and importing into Beacon. My charity experience helps me understand charity specific issues including fundraising, grant making and operational challenges.

I am happy to manage or assist Beacon implementations with ongoing support where required and able to take time to discuss and recommend best practice or alternative approaches for your charity's specific needs.

Andrew provided us with brilliant guidance in setting up the Beacon CRM system to best meet the needs of our charity. He was there to advise on any obstacle we encountered and the advice was always timely. Andrew considered our personal needs as a charity when offering set up support- and we now have a brilliant system to utilise which has streamlined our service. Thank you so much!

Sarah Richardson, Brain Tumour Support

Andrew was a real help to us during the implementation of Beacon at BTS. He ensured we stuck to the project plan by regular weekly meetings. We found we had a good balance between learning about the system and ensuring we were meeting tight timescales. We had a good amount of time dedicated to testing and data cleaning. Andrew has great knowledge of fundraising CRM's and at times questioned decisions we were making. All of which enabled us to be up and running within our timeframe and budget.
