Bio
Tony Sheridan
I had the pleasure of working with Alistair for a couple of years in my previous role. I found him to be an intelligent, motivated and forward-thinking leader. His dedication, enthusiasm and engaging nature created the perfect environment for everyone in his team to flourish.
Adam Gittins
Intelligent, supportive and ridiculously personable are words that come to mind when I think about Alistair. I’ve enjoyed working for Alistair for several years, both in the UK and overseas, during which he demonstrated unwavering support and a genuine interest in developing the careers of those under his leadership. Above all, I was impressed with Alistair’s ability to engage and connect at all levels, effortlessly. And, of course, his insistence at having a laugh along the way. Alistair would be a true asset for any business that requires someone with the ability to inspire, unify and deliver and comes with my absolute recommendation
