Chris Little

I worked with John for 5 years at RAC Rescue and RAC Autowwindscreens. John is a highly motivational leader, with an adept skill for developing high performing teams & delivering exceptional business results. As Operations Director at RAC Autoindscreens, John was critical in sponsoring a significant level of business transformation to very successful outcomes, including: Change to 1000 Tech's T&C's, new operating model for Fitting Centre network and increased productivity of technicians. John's leadership style is open, supportive and empowering, which allows his team to deliver exceptional results for the business. John is a real strategic thinker who is exceptionally focused on translating strategy into tangible business results. He was a highly effective leader and I would strongly recommend him to any business looking for a results driven Operations Director or MD.

John is a first class operator of the highest integrity and quality.John joined me as my first new Board appointment after I became MD at the most difficult time possible in this company's history. We had to create a completely new leadership team to lead our 2,000 colleagues and network of 160+ branches and win back the trust of our major customers and establish a new brand in a very competitive and fragmented market place. John did an immense job. He created and lead his new team and transformed the operational network and customer support into an efficient top class organisation which had pace and ambition to continuously improve. He would be an asset to any organisation.
