WHAT CLIENTS SAY
"Jeremy is an excellent manager: someone who is efficient and gets us great results."
"Jeremy is great at managing his team."
"The service is exceptional and he gets great results."
MY CLIENT PHILOSOPHY
"I like to keep things very simple. First, always remember that the individuals with whom we deal report to someone (the Board, shareholders, line-managers etc.), so ensure that they are always properly informed; second, knowing and understanding the client’s business, industry, risk appetite etc. is essential if we are truly to add value and find creative and effective solutions to problems; third, always tell it straight, especially when it is not what your client wants to hear; fourth, remember that we’re in this together; fifth, good old-fashioned common courtesy goes a long way."
