I have worked with Robert many times over the years. He is professional, organized and approachable. Robert not only goes out of his way to satisfy the client but always makes sure his presenters, models and dancers are looked after. I wouldn't hesitate in working for him again.

Robert is a conscientious, enthusiastic and knowledgeable trainer who worked with clients all over the world in his time at Datix. He is authoritative yet personable, is TAP-accredited, and takes time to ensure that the training message is delivered to all attendees. I would have no hesitation in recommending him for any training role.
