I had the pleasure of making Alan's acquaintance during his tenure at both Pilkington glass and O.I. It's clear from the moment you meet Alan, that he is intent on arriving at the best outcome for his employer, whilst simultaneously forging business partnerships and friendships that will endure the test of time. Alan is a charismatic personality who is gifted with a unique persuasiveness enabling him to achieve his objectives with providers, whilst nurturing a win, win outcome. Alan was always both professional & reputable in his dealings, which made dealings with Alan a pleasure. Alan's priority was always to engineer the most appropriate outcome for his employer. Alan's vast experience coupled with his lateral thinking and gentlemanly qualities more than qualify him as an asset, hence I would have no hesitation in referring him.
