"I worked with David when I was Head of IT at Help the Aged, where our task was to implement a CRM system – never an easy task for any organisation. David was a key player in the team and his knowledge of the organisation and of fundraising was key to our success. 

David and I also served together on the committee of the Institute of Fundraisings Technology Group, where he showed himself to be willing to step outside his comfort zone and contribute well beyond the boundaries of his organisation and job role.

David is knowledgeable about CRM and other major IT systems, is very personable, and his honesty and integrity shines through. He has the ability to retain a sense of perspective and show resilience in the face of difficulties – and to make the work as fun as it can be, which is great for team morale.

His ability to build strong relationships with people across all areas of a business is invaluable, and his focus on organisational outcomes is a key strength – he understands implementing change is about people first and foremost. Though it’s been a while since we worked directly together, I would not hesitate to work with him again if the opportunity arose."
