Stuart is a great team player. Stuart is very knowledgeable and has learnt a wealth of compliance history and information. I am honoured to be in any team he is in.

Jonathan Elliott

Stuart is a brilliant legal professional who is duly capable at leading a Contracts and Compliance team to its maximum potential and creating a positive impact to the wider business. Stuart is a highly considerate and approachable team leader who assisted my own development in the in-house legal support function through his constant encouragement and ability to motivate. He is able to make complex information comprehendible, lead from the front with contractual negotiations/project management and institute streamlined compliance protocols/measures for his respective business. Further to his professional capabilities, Stuart was great fun to work with and he was incredibly well liked by all that worked with him.
