Testimonials
“I found Robert to be a highly professional, driven and approachable member of the team who was focused delivering a high class proposition to the business.
Robert was technically strong and able to apply his wealth of experience in psychology, OD and consultancy to drive forward a clear L&D strategy which had measurable impacts on the business performance.
A tangible example of this was through the Coaching programme he introduced which received excellent feedback consistently from those being coached and also from managers who noted measurable improvements in performance and engagement levels.”
HR Director and former colleague
“Robert is very professional, committed and passionate about his work.
I have worked closely with him over the past two years and always found him to be very insightful, a great team player, and focussed on the business objectives.
He leads by example with a great work ethic and has the respect of senior stakeholders throughout the company. His consumer psychology insights have been particularly helpful in improving the marketing campaigns my team have delivered."
Group Head of Marketing Advertising Agency
“To say I hire Rob is a little self important of me, I work for Workplace Options and often ask Rob to cover various things on my behalf when I cannot attend myself. He is a very reliable, professional and personable man, with huge knowledge based and great expertise within the scope of our business.
I would never hesitate to recommend Rob, and will always hire him wherever possible for things that need covering. I always feel rest assured that everything is going to go smoothly when Rob is "on the case" and my own clients hold him in high regard too.”
