"Patrick delivers - he has the personal skills and technical knowledge to lead and motivate people at all levels across the organisation". Chris Keay, Senior Risk Consultant - Royal London Mutual Insurance

"Patrick is a very capable and dynamic leader. Quick to see the big picture and individuals' core strengths and development needs. He is always keen to empower indivuduals as appropriate and builds strong and incisive teams by combining abilities to everyone's best advantage". Rhod Newcombe, Risk Manager - Royal London Asset Management

"Patrick is a manager who supports & guides rather than one who directs and looks over your shoulder. He creates a cohesive sense of identity in his teams, leading to effective working relationships and believes a certain amount of fun is needed to balance hard work which contributes to building an energetic team culture. His frank and open manner encourages debate and creativity in determining the best way to achieve objectives and his extensive experience of financial services ensures outcomes are targeted and appropriate" Louize Hermitage-Holt, Senior Risk Consultant - Royal London Mutual Insurance

"His broad and deep knowledge and skills are evident both in the boardroom and at an operational level. He has and uses a wide netwrok for the benefit of his clients. Patrick is both professional and personable and a pleasure to work with". James Bell, Independent Compliance Specialist - Churchside 

"I found Patrick to be an excellent colleague to work alongside. Honesty and integrity are two ideal words to describe him, I would add conscientious and very fair. An ability to work toward specific goals but never losing sight of the bigger picture. A pragmatic approach to issues - and a good lateral mind to find solutions". Mark Wilson - Svenska Handelsbanken 

"Patrick has the rare combination of having good subject matter knowledge within his domain of expertise and excellent intrapersonal skills. During my time working with him at Britannia I have seen him make an excellent impact on the board and other senior managers in the organisation. He is able to use humour in a way that can lighten a serious subject, but without the humour ever seeming inappropriate. Patrick has been an excellent developer of his team, helping staff to get the best of themselves and allowing a number to realise their potential". Peter Ambrose, Business Leader - Britannia Building Society

"Patrick delivered from day one which is hugely important for an interim. He brought wide industry experience and good subject matter knowledge of risk. In the risk world it is important to be able to challenge and Patrick did this in an appropriate way but with steel. Patrick had a very good balance of developing people but also managing poor performance. Throughout Patrick's time with Britannia he demonstrated his honesty and integrity. He is also great fun to work with. I have no hesitation in recommending Patrick". Phil Lee, Managing Director, Britannia Capital Investment Group
