So many positives to working with Paul, this recommendation may not do them all justice! Paul works hard and consistently over delivers. When I need a piece of work completing, he quickly gets to the heart of what is required and shapes the solution from there by gaining a great understanding of the subject matter, asking probing questions of the key stakeholders (including me) and adds value at every step. He is collaborative, keen to share knowledge and upskill his peers. He's confident to challenge where needed and always offers an alternative approach when he sees something that could work better. I've lost count of the number of times I've approached him with a complex question and not only has he delivered an answer, but has done the work that would have come off the back of it before being asked! His Qlik knowledge is extensive and he has been fundamental at every stage of building the impressive Qlik world that we have currently. Paul will be a major asset for any company he chooses to work with in the future and I wish him the best of luck in the next steps of his career.

Incredibly efficient, and outstanding attention to detail. I've had the pleasure of working with Paul for many years, we've worked together through multiple team restructures, business platform changes and lots of demanding customers. Through all of the changes and challenges he has consistently delivered on time to high standards. Paul has an extraordinary talent for quickly understanding any new subject matter and highlighting opportunities to improve on any requests handed to him. He'll always ask the right questions to ensure that the customers' expectations are exceeded. I've never known Paul to deliver a piece of work without adding value to the original ask. I'm certainly grateful to have worked with Paul all these years, his help has been invaluable to me. Paul will leave his stakeholders of all levels, feeling assured and confident that he will deliver. Any employer would be lucky to have Paul working for them.
