Richard is an excellent senior finance leader. He combines strong technical skills with a very commercial approach. He is a great people leader who is quickly able to adapt to the culture of the organisation. He is able to juggle a broad portfolio of responsibilities and deals well in a fast paced and busy environment. Requests are dealt with with professionalism and good humour. I would have no hesitation in recommending Richard and hope to have the opportunity to work with him again in the future. Denise Cockrem - Group CFO Ecclesiastical Insurance
Richard provided a valuable 9 month interim role here at Big Society Capital, covering finance, legal & regulatory, hr and ops functions in an FCA regulated organisation. He got into the work rapidly, steadied the team after a series of changes, brought a calm and clear approach to the key issues which engaged trust with staff and non execs alike, and provided a highly professional and purposeful finance and regulatory service. Management accounts were improved, new regulation complied, new areas of work analysed and models put forward. Richard was the most accomplished interim I have engaged in my experience over the years, and I thoroughly recommend him for his future assignments. Cliff Prior - CEO Big Society Capital
