“I’d like to give particular praise to Gavin Coyle who came on board in the later stages. He had a lot to pick up in a short space of time, but I was really impressed by how quickly he got up to speed. He was easy to deal with, professional, and instilled confidence from the outset – which was no small feat given the circumstances. His support made a real difference."
