Bio
Ben Whyatt
Nick has been great to both work with and get to know over the last few years. Nick has always been on the ball with understanding the needs of his customers, the type of consultants he wants to represent his consultancy and keeping processes as quick (but professional) to keep people engaged. Nick is extremely easy to work with and those who have been introduced and successfully involved in the exciting projects I have supported, both in the UK and internationally, have always looked to get more work with 7 Step Solutions once assignments have ended. For me this highlights the great work Nick does in keeping everyone informed/happy throughout projects engaged. I would highly recommend Nick and the team at 7 Step Solutions for any Procurement Consultancy focused engagements.
Gilbert Mackay
During the 18 months Nick worked in my team he excelled at managing a very complex area, developed strong stakeholder relationships at very senior levels and played an integral part to the team dynamic and wider department environment. Nick's opinion was valued and his enthusiasm for 'doing the right thing' often came through as did his courage in eloquently voicing opinions that were not always the popular choice. I have no hesitation in recommending Nick to work in a complex environment such as Data Centre procurement and hope that one day our paths may cross again!
