Gary and I worked together at Flow Power for almost 2 years and at the end of my journey with Flow Power I reported directly into Gary. For the short time we worked together, I found Gary to be loyal, ethical, hard-working and understanding manager on top of being knowledgeable about all the processes and skilful around people management. Gary knows how to keep the balance between being commercial and being human at the same time.
