Mike is an excellent manager who I had the pleasure of working underneath at The Inside Story. He was supportive, helped with personal development and was always open to new ideas and suggestions in the way we worked and how to streamline any processes. He has helped me to improve in my role and career whilst giving me the confidence to succeed in a new role. It was a great experience to be managed by him in the time I worked at The Inside Story and would highly recommend him as an asset to any company!
