Bio
Dean Harvey
Richard appreciates the importance of listening to the customer and taking the steps to create amazing customer relationships. He facilitates success in a customer-led business. He also gets the best from his team and holds people accountable. I recruited Richard from Mindshare into a rapidly growing digital agency, in all the chaos Richard was a steady hand and thoughtful in his approach. Richard played a big part in taking a local agency into one that works with the biggest brands. A lot of people put brands like Coca-Cola and Toyota on their CV - but Richard - he led the way on these accounts and has earned the right to these brands on his CV. Richard is an articulate communicator, team player and motivator and I'm really happy to write this recommendation as I'd love to work with Richard again any day. Richard has a business integrity and I trust him

I’ve worked with Richard for two years. He’s a great communicator who impressed me straight away with his candour and broad appreciation of our business as well as his strong client relationships. He has earned wide-ranging respect for his pragmatic way of solving problems, and he’s tenacious in driving projects/issues/conversations forward. I hope to have the chance to work with Richard again.
