John was a great addition to the team at Softcat. Having joined with no real experience, he soon picked things up, learning in and outside of working hours. John quickly became one of the trusted members of the team and exceeded all expectations in all aspects of the role. I have no doubt John will continue on this trajectory and go on to become a great consultant and I would welcome the opportunity to work with him again.

During John's time at Softcat, I had the pleasure of working with him. I remember John being fresh out of university when he first joined Softcat. With a strong desire to learn and a genuine interest in the subject, he quickly caught up and became very competent in the field of SAM. He has the ability to fully communicate complicated scenarios/concepts to a variety of stakeholders at various levels. He always goes above and above to support the team as a whole, as well as the customer and their needs. He has a very positive attitude and approaches tasks effectively and efficiently.
