Alan is a leading expert in his field and a 'go to' spokesperson with broad in-depth knowledge of meetings management and SMMP in particular. Alan's work has led to features in Conference News magazine and The Guardian and his use of social media to amplify all messages is outstanding. I recommend Alan as a meetings and events professional of the highest calibre and as someone who has given back much to the sector in terms of hard work for industry associations outside the normal call of duty.

Alan is a strategic thinker with the ability to implement ideas in a practical and professional manner. He is a pleasure to work with, both because he is a pleasant person and also because he likes solving problems as part of the team. Alan can work independently as well, depending on the situation. I would highly recommend Alan to any company that needs a solid leader and great problem-solver.
