Bio
Stephen Hunt
Over a two-year period I worked with Gerry on a number of complex projects involving most aspects of strategy development and execution, complex problem solving, corporate finance, organisation change and programme management. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Gerry and cannot recommend him more highly as a highly talented, effective and likeable professional who can tackle any problem. He is: focused, well organised, fast working, quickly adapts to any team, always displays high standards of integrity, and delivers exceptional action orientated results. I look forward to my next opportunity to work with Gerry and can highly recommend him to any business searching for those qualities.

Gerry is a clear thinker capable of analysing situations and challenges quickly and finding practical, cost effective solution. He understands how to lead, motivate and articulate a vision but never afraid of speaking his mind or telling things how they are. His passion for people really always shone through (particularly when on stage wearing lycra!) and it was my great pleasure to have worked so closely with him
