Job Reviews on PPH

by Edmund D on 30 Mar 2012

Neil was excellent, just the man for the job. We were looking for someone to help us bring our team together, assist with communications and start off the process of merging our businesses. Neil scored highly across the board. Both before and after the actual meeting, Neil's preparation and follow up has been excellent, insightful and provide us with plenty to be working on. We look forward to involving him further as the businesses develop.
