I was lucky enough to work with Sharon a number of times over the last eight years, most recently on a whole organisation strategy-led transformation piece with the police. Sharon was fabulous: she is a natural leader; understands her business; is determined and honest; and most importantly she is driven by wanting to deliver the best outcomes for the public. She challenged constructively, cared for her team and the people in the organisation and led the delivery of a great piece of work that will enhance how policing works. And to cap it all she was great fun to work with.

I have been very fortunate to work alongside Sharon over several years in a major transformation project. She has an incredible energy, being very focused on what will bring value to the team and the customer and expert at identifying opportunities to drive efficiencies within the business. Sharon is always looking for a win-win and always prepared to propose alternatives and solutions or options to all the challenges presented. She is hugely professional, adaptable, composed and balanced and highly skilled at managing projects and people to bring out the best of these. In my experience of working alongside her, regardless of scale and complexity, her personal commitment and diligence, often in challenging and pressurised situations has also been a great motivational example to me and I have learned a lot from her approach. A pleasure to work with and a great colleague.

I've had the pleasure to work with Martin a few times in my career, and have been impressed with his depth of knowledge, communication skills, and ability to deliver results. Martin assisted Walmart.com China on its initial supply chain growth strategy and acted as a senior executive during the scale phase of the business. Martin also consulted with my operations team at Herman Miller to build a lightning-fast solution to fulfillment and reverse logistics in the UK for our workplace seating. He seamlessly blends together his delivery of business results, environmental sustainability, and building organizational structures for long-term growth. I look forward to future opportunities to partner with him!

I have known Martin for more than 30 years and after having worked together for the last two years I am delighted to say that he brings the same energy, enthusiasm and excitement as he did when we first met. As a Supply Chain professional Martin is one of the very best, he has a wide-ranging experience and expertise in strategy, operations, planning as well as a finely honed instinct for where the issues are, and how to resolve them. He is adept at bringing together and inspiring teams quickly to move from analysis and definition to execution. It is rare to find somebody as comfortable in the Boardroom as on the shop floor as Martin, but such are his communication skills and ability to connect at all levels. Martin is a senior and seasoned professional with a wide range of transferrable and deployable skills; this coupled with his enthusiasm and energy is a formidable package. I have no hesitation in recommending Martin to anybody requiring support at the Executive, strategic and operational levels, not simply in the Supply Chain arena but in any Transformation, business recovery or development space.
