Bio
Darren Sawyer
I worked with Darren on a joint digital project for YBS Share Plan customers. A great source of banter but more importantly commercially driven and always aiming to get the best results for his customers.
Peter Smith
Darren is a great line manager who focuses a lot of energy on knowing his team and developing them. He trusted me to get on with my job without interference from him but I knew I could always count on him to give a clear steer when conflicting priorities arose and I could trust that he was always able and willing to help when asked. Darren genuinely cares about people's wellbeing and ensuring fair outcomes for all stakeholders. He's passionate about continuously pushing to reach for better services and solutions and making them happen. He's a huge asset to any team.
