‘The depth of knowledge is essential but to be able to interpret that back to me (the client) in a way that represents our individual company standards and needs is what makes the advice so valuable and understandable as well as informative. Giving me the freedom to understand what is being said and then using that clear advice as to how to get around some contractual differences with our customers in a manner that upholds our core standards.’
‘The ability read between the lines, to decipher what is often sent in a rush and not always articulately and be able to pinpoint what is required and answer quickly, concisely and clearly. Always keeping our company standards in practice and giving me what I need to know not necessarily what I thought I needed to know. This is unique in my experience, but shows an excellent understanding of how my company want to work rather than have to work. This support is exemplary.’
