Evan prepared and delivered the course in a most professional manner. We received very positive feedback from the delegates, and it’s definitely attributed to all the hard work that Evan put into this training. He is very skilled and knowledgeable about his specialised subject, and we will certainly wish to engage Evan for similar events in the future."

"Buckinghamshire County Council contracted with Evan to undertake some in-depth research to review our base pay structure. Evan’s incisive initial questioning enabled him to get a very clear understanding of our needs. This grasp of the key issues has shown through in the way that research has been conducted and analysis completed.

The breadth of knowledge of current best practice thinking balanced with a practicality for application has come through very clearly in the comprehensive report produced. The options opened up for us are clearly grounded in well reasoned argument based on robust research, both within and outside our specific sector, and analysis.

Working with Evan has been enjoyable and rewarding. His project management skills ensured that the project was delivered on time and in budget - a recommendation in itself."

Debbie Cairns, Corporate (OD) Manager, Buckinghamshire County Council
