He always had time to listen to problems and could be relied upon to give candid and practical solutions. An excellent communicator and motivator, he appreciated the skills of those who worked for him and engendered a real sense of our common business objectives.

"Nigel was CEO for ecourier and I was the non executive Chairman. He joined the organisation at a time when we needed both the capability of a sound, focussed professional business leader to grow the business whilst maintaining the balance of excellent customer delivery service through the diverse work force. Nigel excelled in both areas and provided a strong business platform for ecourier to grow. He led from the front, he used his business imagination to solve issues whilst delegating skilfully through the management team to the work force. He understands the difference between pushing and pulling people, a rare talent."

Racheal Herring

Racheal Herring

Director at My Freelance Associates

"I first met Nigel at a business lunch where he was giving a presentation on his journey through the corporate and entrepreneurial worlds and was taken by his open, honest and 'bold' approach to business. Several months later I was looking to make some big and positive changes in my company and approached Nigel to be a sounding board and adviser for us during this time. From taking on this role Nigel we soon invited him to be our non-exec director. 

Nigel's experience, straight talking, bold and personable manner was just what we needed and it was great to have him around during a time we were restructuring the company, winning awards and going through a period of rapid growth.

Nigel has a diverse set of valuable skills which have shown in the success of his current business ventures and the ones he has been associated with. I wouldn't hesitate to seek help from him in the future."

Consultant at B Solutions

"Having worked with many CEO’s in the past thirty years across FMCG and SME businesses. I found Nigel to be an exceptional CEO with excellent management and motivational skills. This coupled with first-rate sales, strategic, marketing and financial skills. 
At the time of joining eCourier, the business was faced with many challenges, including global economic down turn. Nigel carefully guided and handheld the business through its most challenging times and strategically laid path for its exit. 
I would have no hesitation in recommending Nigel and would welcome an opportunity to work with Nigel again."

Micheal Weaver

Director at Micheal Weaver Associates

"I was introduced to Nigel when he was MD of Capita Communications. From our first conversation I found Nigel an intelligent, open and knowledgeable guy with a good sense of humour. Before opening my recruitment company I had worked for Capita at a senior level for around 10 years, Nigel was in the process of growing his part of the business and did so to the tune of increasing through-put by 300%. His recruitment needs were therefore extensive, we worked together for a number of years and continued to do so when he joined E-Courier. Nigel is easy to talk to, explains and expresses his needs well and displays sound judgement in business. I have no hesitation in writing this recommendation, it is a pleasure to do so."
