I have worked with Richard at Genesis Capital for a number of years, he is an individual who is extremely committed, dedicated and hardworking. Richard was definitely a key stakeholder who added immense value and went above and beyond for the business and broader team. I have no hesitation in recommending Richard as a potential employee or consultant.

Mandy Turi - Jones

Richard worked at the Genesis Capital Group for 18 years of which I worked there with him for the entire period. Richard is an extremely committed individual with a high level of responsibility towards his work and the business. He is honest, reliable, responsible, and extremely trustworthy. In his work he is highly competent, has an exceptional eye for detail, has a high degree of accuracy, is efficient, organised, and very deadline driven. He has never been afraid or unwilling to take on additional responsibilities but views these as a challenge to master something new. He has always been willing to learn new skills, improve his technical knowledge and adapts quickly to change. As an individual and as a manager he was well respected by his colleagues, his peers and by the staff that reported to him. He was patient with his staff and always aimed to grow them in their careers. I have no hesitation in recommending Richard as an outstanding colleague and manager and had it not been for circumstances in the business beyond anyone’s control, we would have hoped that he would have remained with us till retirement. Richard made an invaluable contribution to our group and was a great asset. I would recommend him to any potential employer.
