As part of our ethical stance and commitment to clients, Green Pastures Org. pledges:

• to carry out its business in an honest and trustworthy manner
• to treat its clients with respect at all times
• never to represent another client with a similar portfolio for the duration of any co-operation
• to treat all materials obtained from the client in strict confidence and to return such materials to the client on request should the co-operation cease

Fee structure
Our fees are very competitive and compare favourably with similar sized agencies in the north of England. Fees are first agreed with the client and are priced per job. Depending on the nature of work requested, we may agree with the client a one-off fee to cover start-up costs, or in other instances of long-term co-operation, a monthly retainer might be more appropriate. Each monthly invoice is accompanied by a detailed note of the services that have been provided.

No work will be carried out by Green Pastures Org. without the express agreement and consent of the client who will have full knowledge of everything that is involved. Although, on occasions, it might be necessary to proceed autonomously as part of an agreed delegated authority.

Quotations for related work
Green Pastures maintains links with a close network of trusted colleagues in other areas of promotion and advertising. We will always offer at least 2 quotations for related work such as printing, photography, graphic or internet design etc. The client is then free to compare these quotes and either accept one of the quotes or use the services of another firm of their choosing.

We will happily liaise as required with related companies on behalf of the client.
