I worked with Anthony during my time at Curtin&Co. Anthony is wholeheartedly one of the hardest workers I know and he was always willing to go extra mile. He has strong communication skills and is able to build relationships with clients quickly; I was always amazed at how he could find common ground with such a diverse range of people. He is also passionate in his community work and has developed a strong knowledge base on housing and regeneration, and the need to ensure communities are at the heart of decision making. Anthony is a rising star and will be an asset to any team going forward.
