"Colin worked for me for 3 years on the largest strategic project within the business. This involved separation of processing from value add underwriting, to allow underwriters to fully exploit their core skills and enable processing at lowest cost. Colin led the off shoring of the processing work across all products, being accountable for scoping, design, process development, training and implementation.

He has a very logical mind and blends this with a desire to understand process and the value each element brings to the business. He is also very practical/pragmatic, and works well with people as a leader of a team and cross functionally. Colin builds high levels of credibility and respect, and is a proven deliverer."
David W Smith - Managing Director, Broker, Zurich UK General Insurance Services.

"I initially seconded Colin to help our business make the first steps into outsourcing to India. He did an excellent job working with all parties at all levels, internal and external and relevant Boards. Colin was key in making this happen for our business. He is highly motivated and very focused, and very engaging. We have since used Colin for other linked pieces of work and would have no hesitation in using him again in our business.”
Paul Nolan hired Colin as a Programme Management in 2007, Feb 2007

Colin and I worked together in Bangalore, India and I found him to be an excellent relationship manager. Available to support his management team as required, he allowed them to develop without feeling he needed constant involvement in each small decision. His ability to influence also saw him secure the strongest manager for his business area. He continues to offer me support and I would recommend Colin to any employer.”
Kevin Carr - Offshore consultant / Vendor management, Dec 2008

“Colin was a highly motivated and enthusiastic performance manager, able to employ a variety of skills and techniques, based both on a solid knowledge of latest thinking and his own personal experience. He brought a different perspective to the challenges we faced and was someone who's input I always valued.”
Mark Turner - Head of Finance and Business Performance, Sept 2008

"I worked as Project Manager with Colin when he was seconded to lead an initial outsourcing initiative to India. Colin was key to influencing teams at all levels from Board to individual front-line staff to gain support and involvement for the new strategy, and his wealth of experience in advising on both the positive and potential negative aspects of outsourcing was invaluable. He positively challenged and supported the project team, and willingly shared his knowledge. He brought a vital blend of technical and operational knowledge with an engaging and influential approach which was a key success factor for the initiative, and left a lasting positive impression.”
