Testimonials

Andy Candler, Creative Engine

Phil is really good at spotting opportunities and putting the right people together to create success. Call it whatever you want; sales, networking, common sense, but he has the skills in making sure that he is talking to the right people at the right time. I have had the pleasure of knowing Phil for over 20 years and his latest venture, ABSolutely, provides us with insight & direction into markets we normally would not explore.

Zoe Madams-Anstey, Mace

I worked with Phil developing the planning systems for the London 2012 Olympic Games. He provided us the detail and then the systems to plan the biggest Olympic Games in history. Without his guidance, knowledge and persistence convincing the London Organising Commitee for the Olympic Games to change their original systems and software we would have never acheieved what we did with the programme.


Will Bentley, Horizon Nuclear Power

I’ve known Phil for several years and he has provided me with software and consultancy services on some major programmes including Heathrow and HS2 Ltd. Phil is industrious, tenacious, accommodative and reliable. He has indepth knowledge of the programme management market and key stakeholders. A true professional.


Richard Robson, Project Pilots

I’ve known Phil for the last decade; over that time he’s been my account manager, my supplier and my friend. His enthusiasm, diligence and sheer energy is evident in each role as is his sincerity. His grasp of technical matters is a breath of fresh air for those that buy software and support from him. I can’t predict where the next decade will take him professionally, but I’m confident that our friendship is a lasting one and that is surely the very best of recommendations.

Allen Jansen van Rensburg, Sasol

If I could summerize Phil in one word it would be “exceptional!”.Walking the extra mile for your client needs new definition! I was working in South Africa at a local Petro-Chemical Plant and we had to increase our knowledge base on working on Mega Projects in leaps and bounds. Although Phil was based in the UK, he left no stone unturned to make our business needs a reality! What he created was a “personal” relationship with his Clients that outstreches any company name! Phil gives new meaning to the saying Trust is earned and not commanded. It is 6 years since my first introduction to Phil and the relationships he facilitated are still as strong as it were 6 years ago. This alone is proof of his Character and value to any company he supports or runs. It is people like Phil that makes technologies available to anyone, anywhere in the world!

I had set up an early web-site for the owners of a marketing product, the Z-CARD, and we wanted to explore ways of depicting the 3-dimensional product with movement. Phil listened, gave us ideas and produced high quality animations that really lifted the site. Inspiring stuff when this technology was so new and unexplored.

I worked with Phil during the late 1980’s and early 1990’s. Phil provided some of the most creative and technologically advanced work of the time. His work for Intel and Lotus set new standards for interactive multimedia and much of his work is still referenced by today’s newer generation of multimedia producers.
