Excellent
03 October 2008: Andy was very quick on the pick-up and very conscientious. His can-do attitude and broad range of experience helped him to rapidly install himself as Project Manager working closely with Train Operators to expand their Oyster Retailing operations. Following successful conclusion of that project, I had no hesitation in utilising his skills to manage the self contained business unit for which I am responsible, managing the accreditation of all of the ticketing retail points used by the rail industry until a new, permanent resource could be recruited. I would not hestate to employ him again if I had an appropriate vacancy
