Bio
Alan Johnson
Dave is an outstanding manger with high energy, good organization and management skills.
Conor Mulrooney
Dave is a seasoned professional with all the attributes you want and need to lead work programs - diligent, detail oriented, efficient, a clear communicator, pro-active, analytical, organised and knowledgeable. While all that may make him sound like a robot (!) he is also a very nice person to work with and brings a calm and measured approach to getting the job done. I've enjoyed working with him over the last couple of years and can thoroughly recommend Dave as a great asset for any business that prides itself on having the best people capable of delivering to the highest standards.
