Bio
Clive Slawson
I had the pleasure of working with Pete for a 3 month period completing in early 2018. Pete was asked to manage a difficult work stream with difficult stakeholders, who were determined to take out their frustrations from previous unrelated IT projects on Pete's desire to progress his objective. Through sheer determination and identifying key resources to become allies, Pete began to see real issues through the noise, and grasped each issue to resolution. Pete's outward demeanor of quiet confidence helped enormously and I was grateful for his input into my programme. I would highly recommend Pete in a role that requires someone to just pick up the baton and run with it.

Pete is a diligent and delivery focused project manager. He is able to plan resources, activities and associated time effectively to achieve key project deliverable whilst also being an engaging and people focused individual. Beyond managing projects to time and budget, Pete also has a 'Can Do' nature and will support project resources if and when required. I would not hesitate to work with Pete again and would recommend him to any employer seeking delivery focused resources.
