I only worked with Tom for a short while but during that time he demonstrated a real hunger and enthusiasm for the job, coupled with a good deal of ambition and willingness to get involved in other parts of the business. Just what is needed in a small team LCC environment. I would not hesitate to recommend Tom to anyone looking for a hard working and versatile operational manager.
