Bio
Andrew Jenkinson
I have dealt with David in a business capacity on a number of occasions. Each time I have found him to be the consummate professional. His sales skills are exemplary, and he has consistently delivered on his promise. Regardless of the product or service I would always take a meeting with David, as he has the skills to understand a business problem and propose a workable solution. He is also an extremely amiable character and a pleasure to deal with. I would have no hesitation in recommending David to a prospective employer.

David is a detail orientated and extremely personable sales executive. I have done business with David in both a residential and business capacity while he was with Bord Gáis and O2. On both occasions David gave me great advice which resulted in cost savings at home and for the business. I have found him to be both knowledgeable and reliable with excellent after sales support.
