Dom Newton
Richard was a joy to study with. Not only was he an excellent, able and dedicated student but he also knew how to perfectly balance his school life and personal life. 'Batesey' worked hard at school and I'm pleased, as his friend, to see it paying off.
Charles Spencer BSc (Hons) CEnvH FCIEH CMIOSH
I had the pleasure of working with Richard at Eat LTD, and would consider him as not only an excellent colleague to work with, but to this day a friend. Richard was exceptionally good in communication, and positive approach to the sometimes stressful times, were an encouragement to Eat. I would certainly recommend Richard, and would welcome working along side him, should the opportunity ever arise in the future
