Bio
Steve Spratt
Irwin is one of the best consultants I have had the pleasure to work with. He is focused on delivering results and at the same time getting the best out of his customers. He is a great person to have with you in a sales situation and can be relied upon to deliver results time after time.
Nicola Simper
Irwin initially worked with me on a consultative basis to enable us to work effectively within an offshore development model. However, it quickly became clear that he could bring a substantial amount more expertise and leadership to the table and so he was hired to design, develop and implement full engineering software development lifecycle processes and to manage the change associated with this, across the engineering community. Irwin brought a huge amount of knowledge and understanding to the table on all counts and was an integral member of the team responsible for turning around the engineering area of the business into a significantly more streamlined and efficient organisation. Irwin is an asset to any team and I would not hesitate in recommending him for any work associated with process re-engineering and/or quality management initiatives.
