Mike is a results oriented manager who sees things black and white whilst remaining open minded. It was a pleasure providing services to Mikes team as I always knew where I stood, and Mike identified many enhancements to our services which we took on board and provided to other businesses. A very effective Manager and I look forward to working with Mike again.
