Greg helped our What's Right CIC CSR project by introducing us to Bristol Academy woman's football team & gave us the opportunity to use the wonderful facilities at the WISE campus. In all my dealings with Greg he has been positive, enthusiastic & efficient which is typical of a confident South African. It is a pleasure to know Greg & long may it continue
