Testimonials

Ataloss.org (Pete English, Executive Director)

Rich is a man of integrity. He was extremely thorough in the work that he undertook for our organisation and provided accurate and timely feedback at each stage of the project.

Emotional Logic Centre (Trevor Griffiths, Founder)

We quickly saw that Richard had the capacity to shape the development of the whole organisation as we prepared to expand ... Richard demonstrated how he could turn his hand to every aspect of organisational development ... his rapid grasp of detail, and thorough follow-up within time-frames, has left us with a well-functioning and adaptable business system that is very ‘fit-for-purpose’.

Brunel Manor (participant, anonymous)

I was very impressed with the creativity and preparation that was put into the planning of the day - not the typical “bouncing ideas” kind of day. Good leadership from Rich and Harriet who worked very well together, complimenting each other.

Heatree Activity Centre (Steve McIlhenny, Centre Manager)

Rich has worked brilliantly within the team, handling general admin roles but in particular taking on more complex tasks with ease. He has reviewed our policies, pricing structures and assisted with our annual audit and has made a big impact in the short time he was with us. His detailed approach to the work coupled with a wealth of knowledge, expertise and hard work has been of huge benefit to Heatree. He has a great ability to review and ask the right questions and has been able to move our behind the scenes systems and processes forward quickly to enable us to work more efficiently.

Trinity Cheltenham (Mark Bailey, Leader)

I could not commend anyone to you more highly, both in terms of character as well as ability and work ethic. Rich is a good leader of a team, and is also well able to work with others. He is well able to handle different groups of individuals, and different gift mixes and personalities as he seeks to encourage others to work well together. He leads by example, is unbelievably hard-working and diligent, completely conscientious, honest and trustworthy. His ‘yes’ has always been a ‘yes’ and his ‘no’ a ‘no’. He is thoughtful, considered, highly intelligent, strategic and incredibly good at helping deliver on projects within the framework of a wider vision. He understands loyalty, and has never been anything other than supportive.

Lee Abbey (Cathy Scoffield, Personnel Manager)

Richard is a strong motivator of people who is able to use pastoral skills in difficult situations and keep a professional focus. He has showed commitment, flexibility, hard work and a willingness to learn new skills, working as an excellent team player with a high level of discretion.
