Bio
Steve Lemmon
Colin Binnington was my Senior when I was a Display Specialist and later an equal when I was an Investment Implementation Manager for Homebase. Colins strongest strength is his people skills, he takes the time to explain things if people are unsure of anything, is approachable and well liked by Colleagues and Customers alike. He is a great believer in strong communication and keeps his Teams well informed as to what is going on, along with what is expected for the day ahead. He is a good planner and with his years of Retail experience is very commercially aware, with a strong eye for detail. All of his Projects were delivered within the agreed timescales and too a high standard. He is loyal, punctual and commited and as a result I would have no problem in recommending Colin for either a Project Managers Role or Store Management position within the Retail sector.
