Client Testimonials

I have had the pleasure of working on some highly rewarding projects and working alongside some fantastic individuals, a selection of these former project partners have offered up a few words to describe their experiences of working with me over the past few years:

"In working with Damon over a number of years, I have greatly appreciated the fact that he doesn't simply deliver highly efficient and effective project management, but that he has a very strong empathy for the project and community that he is working with and combines that with a striking ability to take the level of leadership and initiative that the project requires (without ever over-reaching)." 

Professor of Ancient History, University of Oxford

"I found Damon to be highly focused on the detail required to ensure a successful outcome to the project." 

Head Of ICT & Digital (Director), Oxford Direct Services

"Damon brought focus and direction to a strategically important piece of work that had meandered for some time. His efforts provided much needed structure direction to our work that gave us a very successful outcome; but not at the expense of an empathetic understanding of the culture and working practices we had to operate in. I highly recommend working with Damon and would relish the opportunity to do so again." 

Chief Information Security Officer, University of Sheffield

"Damon gets very involved with the initial stage of the project in planning and developing the project idea and then to create and lead various teams from all impacted departments within the organisation" 

(Retired) Senior Project Manager, University of Oxford

"Damon is able to work at a high-level, rapidly assimilating complex and technical subject matter, alongside working with people across an organisation with differing perspectives and responses. He is diplomatic and considered in his approach, able to apply core principles to develop a responsive service for a community, in this instance of digital humanities researchers, through listening and iteration. He was also able to master a technical brief to ensure that the platform reflected the technical requirements of multiple stakeholders. In sum, he is both a great programme lead and project manager who is able to interpret a brief and work to make it a reality" 

Head of Research & Partnerships, University of London

"In Damon’s role at the University of Sheffield, he proved to be an excellent project tracker and a strong collaborator with highly effective interpersonal skills" 

PCI DSS Information Coordinator & Internal Security Assessor, University of Sheffield

"Damon worked on a software project with me in 2020 at the University of Oxford and I was impressed by his dedication and helpfulness. Although he had to hand over to another project manager before completion, he laid an excellent foundation on which the project became successful" 

Development Manager (Finance), University of Oxford

"Damon worked on our PCI DSS Compliance project between 2016 - 2018. He is a highly recommended Project Manager. He kept the project on track, everyone informed of the progress, collated stats on performance and encouraged us all to action the actions that were outstanding. He made the project easy to follow, creating detailed milestone reports and Management Reports. Damon helped to ensure that the job was completed (which it was)!" 

Head of Income, University of Sheffield

"Working with Damon at the University of Sheffield, as part of a project team delivering process improvement initiatives, I experienced his commitment and dedication to the role of Project Manager. His willingness to learn and develop new skills was commendable, as was his willingness to bring new perspectives and fresh ideas to a project to ensure effective delivery, sometimes in the face of adversity. It is fantastic to see how Damon's career has progressed so if you want someone on your team who has the confidence to think beyond the normal constraints of project management then Damon is the person for your team..."
