It was fantastic to work together with Graham for almost 10 years in different roles and capacity. Graham is a great leader and coach with strong work ethics and commitment to success. Graham helped to drive the business forward, coming up with fresh ideas about how to improve the way we operate, many of which were successfully implemented into the business structure. Graham has a real passion and enthusiasm for customers, staff and business and it shines through.
