Leigh Featherstone
Matt was an essential part of our successful drive to improve the quality of NZ housing. His technical ability mixed with commercial pragmatism enabled us to develop initiatives that continue to influence the market. Matt would do the hard work, create solutions and when needed quietly but effectively point out where and how we could do better. These factors and his strong people skills created his mana which was an asset to the business.
Krista Ferguson
Matthew has a rare combination of an eye for detail and an ability to see the bigger picture. This, combined with his ideas-generation ability, means he can contribute beyond his strong technical abilities into the business development arena. On the personal side, he's an excellent team player and a natural communicator.
