What my peers have to say

"I had the privilege of working with Derek while employed at

BSkyB. I found Derek to be highly skilled technically with a

passion for his work, great attention to detail and a highly

analytical mind. He is an intelligent chap with great people skills

and sense of humour. It was a pleasure to work with Derek and I

highly commend him to any future employer." - Steve Fenton

"I was lucky enough to work with Derek for around 2 years and

during this time I found him to be a very clever, strategic

individual who could easily focus towards a myriad of issues and

potential solutions by applying excellence in analysis, planning

and strategy. If I had to sum Derek up in 5 words they would be

Strategic, Analytical, Organised, Quality Focused and Value Add

(ok, that's technically 7 words but they are all true) "- Amanda

Kelly

"I had the very good fortune to work with Derek over a three year

period at SkyIQ where he played a major part in ensuring myself

and the other departmental managers were focussed, and aligned

to, the more ‘significant and valuable’ asks from the business. His

natural inquisitorial style ensured that he was able to prioritise

projects fully appraised on the drivers behind the requests and pull

the threads together where a more cohesive approach would be

beneficial. Innate creativity coupled with sound logical thinking

meant Derek was often used as a sounding board by colleagues" -
