Testimonials

"Michael worked for several months as Interim Marketing Director at Asquith Nurseries at a time when the business was undergoing a major turnaround. He was a great colleague, showed strategic insight whilst having the ability and willingness to get on and do the work. He produced good results. I'd not hesitate to use him again."

Pat Perridge – Interim HR Manager/Director

“Michael got straight into the job as Interim Marketing Director, and made a difference immediately. We were extremely pleased – a hands-on implementer who also had the strategic skills to plan effectively. He made useful changes to our operation and got to grips with some difficult issues. A real benefit to the business and we were disappointed that he would not take a permanent position with us”.

Jean Cross, Operations Director, Asquith Group (Asquith Nurseries)

"I got to know Michael when I was living in Cambridge. He is an excellent professional person, and for me he represents the best “grey hair expertise”. I like to call him when I face the edge of my own skills."

Jorma Kuningas – Entrepreneur and director

"Michael was instrumental in developing the strategic plan for British Airways' communication division. Michael's drive, vision and tenacity ensured that his organisational change plan was successfully and profitably executed, resulting in the sale of one division to Vodafone. He is First Class and I highly recommend him as a senior business manager."

Andy Tow, Senior Manager, Vodafone UK

“Michael was a dedicated and extremely hard-working Interim General Manager at BA, and got to grips with the problems in his division very quickly. He restructured the division successfully and kept all the staff ‘on board’ with his style of management and leadership. He had the strategic vision and the ability to get things done. He supported me whole-heartedly, but was willing to voice his doubts or arguments when necessary.”
