Nick is the "go to" expert at times of serious, high profile crisis that hit the media His knowledge of the subject and enviable network of contacts, enables him to deliver creative solutions often rather inventive which cause you to comment "wish I had thought of that! Nick keeps the organisation's reputation central to his recommendations / solutions

Jacqueline Totterdell

Nick came into the organisation as head of communications at at time when we we a little besieged by our local press and public. He brought confidence, great ideas and realism into how we dealt with external coms and greatly enhanced our internal structures. His legacy still sits with us today and we have moved from strength to strength.
