Testimonials
Darren offered excellent counsel and guidance. He was a great sounding board and with his considerable experience was able to shape and improve our change programme bringing in new tools and approaches. Darren provided me with practical and actionable advice and helped me step back from business issues and talk through courses of action. Darren’s skills were particularly apparent with problem solving and trouble shooting. Where a project or initiative was going off track Darren was able to zone in on the issue, diagnose the problem and bring structure, clarity, and rigour whilst at the same time bringing people with him. If you have a complex, demanding project and need someone who will address issues, solve problems, and build positive relationships Darren is your person.
I appointed Darren to set-up and deliver a business-critical project to integrate a newly acquired business into our approved supply chain and ensure that the organisation had the correct robust processes to be able to move to business as usual. Darren quickly developed a great understanding of the requirements and seamlessly integrated himself into the operational part of the business and was able to commence the delivery with minimal supervision. Darren’s experience and skills enabled us to bring a fresh dimension to the way approached the project and from my perspective I could not have asked for a better result - exceeding delivery requirement and with great professionalism and integrity. The legacy - delivers ongoing savings and a model approach for future acquisitions. Could not be happier with this and very much look forward to working with Darren again in the future.
Darren has been amazing with his input into my business strategy. He has given sound advice which was well presented and logical. Darren’s main skills are, he is able to analyse the facts easily look past the emotional elements of decision making and basically cut to the chase. He is an amazing Project Manager and always gets the job done. All in all I would not hesitate to recommend this forward thinking, motivated and dynamic company and its staff, you would struggle to find a better company to bring your project to completion.
