His creativity, experience and engineering ability added significant value to the project and enabled several patents to be pursued. Kevin has an excellent work ethic and takes ownership of any given task. The program was completed ahead of time and to a very high standard. We wanted to secure Kevin as a permanent employee at our company, and as such would have no hesitation in recommending him”

I would have no hesitation in engaging him again or recommending him to others.”

“We were lucky to find Kevin at very short notice, and once I met him and outlined the work content, I was re-assured and impressed how quickly he demonstrated an understanding of the requirements, and offered a commitment to staged delivery to match our deadlines, fitting this around his existing work schedule by extending his available time. I was confident to give him the go ahead straight away against his verbal quote, the formalities followed. Kevin was extremely professional, capable and efficient, and represented excellent value for money, delivering all of the work required on time and at an extremely high level of quality. Highly recommended”

I was therefore keen to engage him when we had an urgent skills shortage for a major high value project. Kevin picked up the project requirements extremely quickly and delivered everything required in a professional and efficient manner, and to a very high standard. In fact, through his usual diligence and attention to detail he added significant value to the project over and above what was originally required, and I therefore had no hesitation in using him as my customer-facing representative in formal design reviews with our client. Highly Recommended”
