IT Director

Air Handling

I have had the pleasure of working with Brett in his role as Project Manager during a high-paced Microsoft Dynamics implementation. His straightforward yet very pleasant and methodological way of working has been a great motivator to the implementation team. And with his high level of energy in the project and good technical insights into the solution at hand, a certain part of the success of the project.

I am sure to recommend Brett to anyone, and I hope our paths will cross again someday!

Manufacturing Systems Development Manager

Steadmans

Over the past 12 months, I have been working closely with Brett delivering two SAP Business One ERP implementations - both of which have been a complete success. Not only were they successful, but they were delivered on time – despite short timescales - and below budget, which in turn has enabled us to invest in further improvements. From day one Brett has been brilliant, keeping every project member informed, motivated and valued, whilst making sure deadlines were met throughout.

Brett is one of the most enthusiastic, supportive and motivational people I have worked with - and it has been a complete pleasure to have delivered these projects together. I cannot recommend Brett highly enough and hope to have the opportunity to work with him again.

Regional Manager

I’ve worked with Brett in the past ant I have to say he is a great professional. His understanding of the BPO world in general and the Transition component of it, in particular, are exceptional.

Senior CRM Project Manager

Hitachi Solutions, March 2017

Brett and I worked very closely together (as a supplier and client PMs) on an inherited project that was in a really precarious situation.
Over the ensuing months, through hard work, tough meetings and negotiations, we managed to pull the project through successfully

I can honestly say that it was one of the best joint deliveries consider how bad things were at the beginning.

Brett is a straight-talking, analytical, rational, pragmatic and consultative when he needed to be. He truly demonstrated the art of moderated approaches based on circumstances. Tough or amenable when he needed to be.

Working with Brett was really inspiring and would look forward to any future engagements with him.

Senior Manager

EY Advisory, August 2014

I’ve worked with and for Brett in a couple of projects in the past and in summary it was a very pleasant and enriching professional experience.

While working with Brett he was the overall Transition solution responsible for a large and complex multinational project. Brett’s planning and managing capabilities are considerable and made a significant difference to the projects time, quality and financial objectives. Brett always seemed to be one step ahead!

When I worked for Brett it was on a couple of smaller projects but I would stand out that I always got the right amount of guidance and empowerment from Brett. His considerable experience and business knowledge help him to work in a very efficient way and constantly finding the best possible solution.

In general, Brett creates a positive environment to work in and is very much actively conscious on bringing out the best of his team. Brett takes a sincere interest in his team and the client and if a personal problem arouse, Brett would try to help out as much as he could. This is one of many things I truly admire about Brett and his managing style.

I experienced Brett as an excellent Manager of people/teams who always put the customer first.

He´s a great communicator who can do business with everyone while always being focused on what really matters. Part of that is his ability to easily work across countries, time zones and cultures.

His pragmatic, comprehensive view of the business and the way he understands it, is outstanding.
Since he enjoys working out of the box and as he´s not afraid of getting out of his comfort zone, he´s always a driver of additional growth which is admirable.

Working together with Brett is pure joy and therefore highly recommended.

Senior Director, Customer Data & Analytics

Citrix, March 2014

Brett cares a great deal about people; both his own employees and his customers. In my experiences with him, he continually puts the customer at the center of the conversation. He is very careful with decisions that could negatively impact our customers. At the same time, Brett has grown a great team of people – his managers are superstars and together they have groomed a very talented service group.

When Brett joined, his teams were not data-driven at all. He has worked tirelessly to not only turn this around, but actually create a team that is more data-driven than any other service team in our division. And they continue to set the example. They are open to new ways of doing things and embrace change.

I enjoy working with Brett. His high energy and passion for his work and the customer are contagious. He just makes you care about what you are doing. He is a great manager and leader of people.

Office & Development Manager

Polite, assertive and driven, Brett was, quite simply, the best manager I have ever worked under. I worked as a team leader on one of Brett's projects, which before he arrived was struggling to deal with high customer demand, staff complaints, and problematic IT systems. Within hours of him arriving on site, the organisation had completely changed: people were being rewarded for good work or reassigned to more suitable tasks, and staff morale skyrocketed while complaints fell drastically. Brett gave the office cohesion, and inspired us all to hit our targets. I have no doubt that if it were not for Brett's presence, the project would not be the success it is today.
