Bio
Olav Halvorsen
I worked with Matthew at Brunel for well over a year and I was immediately impressed by how rapidly he learned the complexities of the oil and gas industry in Norway. Although Matthew had not been in Norway for very long, he quickly developed a good understanding of Norwegian sales culture, and combined with his experience and expertise in the international market made good contacts with many clients. He is quick to develop and utilize his network, and is relaxed and friendly in his approach to others. As a colleague, Matthew is a very good contributor to the social environment. He both assists and includes his fellow employees, and always contributes to a positive work culture. I would summarize Matt as versatile, reliable and result oriented. He manages to create a good overview of projects and has the ability to see the big picture in everything he does.

Matthew is an excellent consultant working in a conscientious and capable way, always with an eye no the goal. He demonstrates entrepreneurial abilities that are highly value within the recruitment industry, thinking creatively to do business where others were unable to deliver. His general attitude and the way that he conducts him self professionally makes him a valuable member of any team - I would have no hesitation in recommending him to any company or individual.
