Bio
Dean Barnes
I worked very closely with Mike Dean for two years up to 2014; Mike’s knowledge of business strategy, sales, client engagement and an understanding of how today’s businesses operate proved invaluable in the great results we delivered. I count myself as being fortunate to have worked alongside Mike who proved to be excellent in support of my role and enabling me to take on-board some of Mike’s considerable experience. Mike’s ability to very quickly grasp what the problem is and creatively turn this into a positive opportunity will long stay with me. I look forward to the next opportunity to work with Mike.

I was lucky enough to work with Mike on several occasions on solutions for SME sales and marketing. Mike has a fantastic ability to very quickly grasp what the real issues are and put in place practical fast acting focussed solutions. He is one of those rare people who naturally just 'gets it' and was a real pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Mike.
