Testimonials

"Dave completes his work with a pleasant disposition and has many teams been the voice of calm and reason during high-pressure situations. His man-management skills are excellent and I have seen junior members of his team flourish from his mentoring and leadership skills. Like all good managers, he is keen to see his direct reports do well and get the appropriate credit for their work.

To summarise, I would have ten Dave's in my team!!"

Paul Cashmore

"I have worked with David for the past 5 years; it would be an understatement to say that his position in all projects I have been part of have been pivotal. The dedication that David has for his employer is exemplary, his work ethic is unparalleled, and he consistently steps outside of his role to onboard any additional roles he deems necessary to aid in fulfilment of his delivery objectives. I believe that David would be an immeasurable asset to any business in any position"

Aaron Greenhalgh

"I had the pleasure to manage and recruit David as part of the Delivery team in Paydock where he impressed me with his energy, enthusiasm and total dedication to his team. He joined to take on the platform tribe to establish agile ways of working and a cross-functional setup from previous siloed approach. David very quickly embedded himself and build the relationships with individuals to build the trust required to turn things around quickly. His excellent way to engage and motivate people enabled David to take on the management of a bigger cross-team project which was delayed since years. He established and set milestones, brought stakeholders together to agree on approach and ways of working to get a very technical and complex project delivered on budget and time.

Additionally David was a dedicated team member of the Delivery community, engaged with others to exchange knowledge, further their development and build a delivery team worth being part of.

I highly recommend David and hope our paths cross again. His positivity and high energy is super contagious and a benefit to any team and business."
