"Clearly in simple terms the value-add was that the target was beaten spectacularly. However the real added value was that the target was beaten in such a professional manner that no customer had felt threatened and our image was perhaps improved by the manner in which the role was handled.

In summary we were very pleased with the quality of Brians work, his attention to detail and the files he compiled and left with us relatiing to key contacts and advice for the future.

We would have no doubts in recommending Brian to other organisations."

"Brian, I have now read through the Group Credit Policy in detail. It is a comprehensive document, well done!

Douglas Brown
Group Managing Director
DEGW UK

"Brian was brought in to write a group credit policy and implement it throughout the group. This involved liaison with people at all levels around the group and presentation of the proposed procedures. The feedback on Brian was without exception positive. Brian also worked outside his original remit in a wider commercial management field and wrote course material to improve financial and commercial awareness across the group. Brian's sensitivity and gift for explaining dry subjects to inexperienced audiences made him extremely effective in this organisation. 

Brian's work on credit management and coaching of the staff involved directly led to a dramatic improvement in the company's collection of customer balances. 

I could not recommend Brian more highly."

"Brian joined the team in a true fire fighting situation, when quick results were required, alongside the development of a more comprehensive ling term plan. He was an excellent member of the team and very effective at bringing calm and a sense of order at a time of great change for the department that he came to manage.

Most importantly he delivered results quickly and in a sustainable manner."
