Excellent - stood in as operations manager for several months then took on the innovation role. Got really good feedback from the business units as to his interactions with them. Delivers results and is focussed.

Bevan is an excellent project manager. He has a good understanding of complex infrastructure architecture, SOA and web clients. He has a very collaborative style ensuring he is a popular fit with technical staff who he quickly gains rapport with to deliver swift solutions. His comms and management style adapt well to the audience and he became a well respected project manager amongst senior stakeholders for Group IT. I have no hesitation in recommending Bevan for any Project or Programme Management roles.
