“I have worked with Gary for a number of years now and he is one of the best Programme / Project Delivery Managers I have met. He is diligent, tenacious and driven to get the job done. He has great interpersonal skills and is respected across the organisation. I would highly recommend Gary if you need someone to turn ambiguity into a structured delivery approach with transparent governance — so you understand exactly where you are in the delivery journey and the challenges you face.”

“As Programme Director, Gary was fact-based and balanced, and was able to push back on changes in assumptions or direction with clear impacts on the overall business objective. He had the tenacity to keep multiple vendors accountable and delivery-focused while ensuring plans were challenging but achievable. He commanded the respect of all the work-stream leads. As a member of the Programme Steering board, I slept well at night knowing Gary was on the case and would do the worrying for me — and for those that know me, that’s a very significant endorsement.”
