Bio
Mark Foulsham
I most recently worked with Brett on a large and complex programme of transformation at esure. His involvement on this piece of work was fundamental and essential; his responsibilities often lay on the critical path to delivery. He brought huge energy, commitment and tenacity to his role and was someone who set high standards of diligence for his peer group. This programme was not the first time I've worked with Brett and so when he joined us again, based on past experience, I knew we had someone on board with a track record I could rely on. I wouldn't hesitate to have Brett on my team again in the future.
Richard Bassett
Brett develops rapport and confidence quickly with teams, customers and suppliers. He is extremely focused on positive project outcomes, displaying a top class work ethic - he will do absolutely whatever is necessary to ensure project success. Brett collaborates and communicates well across all levels within the organisation, IT and business; he is an extremely good team builder and motivator.
