Stewart Newton
President, Veritas Investment Management
Colin led my Sport/Healthcare Group over a 4 year period. We successfully purchased and integrated four businesses and then sold the business to a US Corp. His approach to the Management of people included extensive Mentoring of the Senior Team. This program certainly helped enable the team which in turn contributed to the growth and success of the business.

former Operations Director at Stericycle
Colin and I worked together over a number of years, his passion for enabling people to develop and grow through mentoring was infectious. It led to the introduction of a company-wide Mentoring Scheme in which all the senior team were actively involved. Looking back I'm sure it played a major role in us achieving the best engagement scores ever in the US Corp with whom we worked.
Roger Rawlinson
Coach and Mentor, Elite Coaching
As a professional Coach and Mentor myself I enjoyed working with Colin over 3 years. He developed a Mentoring scheme across his organization and led this from the top with real passion and vision. This enabled the Board and the Leadership Team to develop their own Mentoring skills and the approach was cascaded through the organization. The outcome was a really engaged group of highly motivated individuals, and the business results followed!

Colin was a fellow Non Exec Director on the UoNSU Company Board. His commercial insight and marketing experience was hugely valuable to the Board. He was also generous with his time and very encouraging to our student board members.

Colin is an excellent coach/mentor. He took his time to understand me and my ways of working and was superb at encouraging and supporting me to tackle issues which I had previously prevaricated over. We covered a great deal of ground in the sessions we had together and by asking me challenging questions helped me to find solutions to many issues. He was fun to work with, always so professional but engaging and empathetic too.
