Howard Dudley
I've written this recommendation of your work to share with other LinkedIn users. Details of the Recommendation: "I have known and worked with Stephen for over 20 years. During this period Stephen has been both a colleague and mentor. He is an experienced sales leader, always proving to be a very worthy ambassador of the industry he serves, he builds long term sustainable relationships with his colleagues, customers and is viewed by them as provider of added value services. Stephen is keen to build partnership relationships with his suppliers, he is open and honest but most of all fair in his business relationships, I would describe Stephen as an experienced sales professional and a very competent business person."
LinkedIn User
I have worked with Stephen on a number of joint projects as we were both running different but complimentary finance businesses. Stephen has held several high positions in the finance arena and is very highly respected by customers and staff alike. He brings gravitas, understanding, and presence to any situation, and as he gets involved with many associated bodies in the finance sector, his market knowledge is second to none. As CEO of Wyse (a sister company to mine at the time), Stephen faced many challenges in amalgamating several group businesses. He was well respected by fellow directors as a natural leader, a sound businessman, a good legal administrator, and an all-round balanced and very nice person.
