Testimonials

We were looking for a consultant to work with the team at The O2 in order to increase our floor capacity for standing concerts. When we met with Chris it was obvious from the start that he was the right man for the job. Not only was he an expert in his field but his approach and methodology was exactly what we were looking for. He worked extremely well with members of staff at all levels in the organisation and was able to communicate appropriately toeach person’s skill set. The project was completed on schedule and with the required result, a phased increase in capacity which in total gave us a 10% increase, more than was originally expected.
