I have worked with Stuart now for almost 2 years and when looking for feedback or validation on either content or direction for our IT Solution Provider Community, he is always top of mind for a balanced and considered response. Stuart is also generous when sharing his successes and failures and the important lessons learnt, which brings a level of transparency and value to any conversation. He isn't afraid of trying a new approach and is always at the forefront of new initiatives, so whether you are Stuarts customer, partner or employee, you can rely on his partnership and ability to get things done.

I know and recommend Stuart both from an IT Tech perspective and in the Mentoring and Advisory space. I value his pragmatic (sensible) approach and considered thinking to problem solving on the wider project scale and the more personal and specific level. My experience is Stuart is a really useful sounding board. His golfing capabilities are inversely proportional to his business acumen.... he misses a load of putts on the course, but doesn't miss much in the board room.
