Bio
Gareth Brace
Gary worked in the IT function which I led at Catalyst. During our shared time together, which included a really tough Covid, Gary was a genuinely safe pair of hands. He kept a lot o f the business experience stable, during the pandemic, following a major merger and during some transformational change happening around him. This was a great achievement on its own, however he did so with a smile on his face his customary good sense of humour and basically just got in with it. I know he will be an asset wherever he lands.
Laura Bruford
I have worked with Gary for many years, and have always found Gary to be a highly communicative candidate. Gary is very honest about his core strengths, which is absolutely crucial in securing the right role. Client feedback has always been excellent for Gary both in terms of his work output and team working. I would have no hesitation in recommending Gary for roles suited to his skillset.
