Having worked with Matt for nearly 4 years I have never worked with anyone with such a diverse skill set. Although our roles were quite different Matt was the support mechanism for the business operation with a logical and analytical approach. Matt is a strategic thinker with the commercial acumen to bring a practical approach to any challenge. Matt has a natural talent for account management; he was the senior contact on some of our main clients and demonstrated an understanding of what the customer wanted in line with what could be delivered. His operational knowledge and experience is an essential strength when developing client relationships as he knows exactly what can be achieved and will not over commit. Matt has the ability to drive results, through his supportive and honest approach with both his team, colleagues and senior managers. I enjoyed working with Matt and would have no hesitation recommending him to any future employer.
