Ray Fossey

Project Controls Manager

"I hired Steve as a contractor to run a high-volume recruitment project for a client of mine. As this was a 'high risk' project from a safety perspective, I needed to trust that this person would follow the correct processes and strict compliance required when screening, recruiting and selecting candidates. Steve effectively ran it and kept me updated on key milestones throughout the project."
