Christopher Wright, AFHEA

It was a pleasure working with Dan and his outlook and approach to both work and supporting people has guided my own career. Dan is a true holistic thinker who understands the implications and value of certain actions to both individuals and work places. Dan has a wealth of specific knowledge which is easily transfered to all areas. I regularly ask Dan for support and guidance with complex tasks and cases even though we haven't worked with each other for a few years.

Daniel was an absolute pleasure to work with. He is kind and considerate towards colleagues and clients alike and is a real 'people person'. He has a wonderful rapport with all he meets.
