Colin's Recommendations
Matthew Johnston
Colin is very experienced in his field and is able to fully understand the content of the communication himself to really get under the skin of the messages rather than simply focusing on the process itself. He has credibility with the C suite from the CEO to the CHRO and this allows him to ask the questions that everyone wants to ask and to ensure that the messages are delivered in the right way and at the right time.
I look forward to hopefully working with Colin again – I am certainly taking some of his ideas forward to other situations!

In the communication field Colin isa terrific all-rounder – he possesses a rare mix of meaningful strategic frameworks and hands on delivery including superb event planning and execution. I have found it unusual to work with a communication leader with the outstanding visual graphic artistry that Colin has – along with an ability to deliver clear, crisp written content. Flint Group worked closely with McKinsey & Co recently on a major group transformation programme – with their lead partner referencing on many occasions the high quality of Colin’s work and how it ranked amongst the best they had seen from major clients around the world.
Totally trustworthy, with a huge work ethic and laser-focus on value creation, I recommend Colin without hesitation.
