“Mike is probably the most positive person I know, this despite having faced more challenging situations than many people out there. Even in the toughest personal situations he is still able to smile and see the bright side of any situation. I have known Mike for around six years, during that time we have formed a good and solid friendship. At his request I have been a mentor and confidential coach , especially when he was re-entering the workforce after an unplanned lengthy career break. Over that time Mike has demonstrated a good understanding of key business leadership skills such as commercial wisdom, balance sheet focused, a respect for relationship building and long-term sales, the power of sound process and a good grasp operational management. Mike additionally understands business and the importance of sales and marketing as well as the critical importance of developing sound and ethical business. Based on Mike’s history and our conversations I would say that Mike’s core strengths are his strong interpersonal skills, his ability to remain calm and focused in a crisis, his leadership and never give up attitude. Why I think Mike would be a great asset to any organisation is his ability to see the way through very challenging situations, and applying himself and his team with unending enthusiasm and positivity.”

Combined with this was a personable attitude to the relationship which instilled confidence in ourselves that there was a high level of personal commitment to ensure that he was always going to provide MPC with the best possible level of service.

All the staff at MPC that used his services and in particular myself would recommend Michael highly on any further work / service in this field.”
