“Martin is a pleasure to work with, and I would have no hesitation in recommending him. He is very hard-working, organized, and always meets targets. He is very good at working on his own initiative, which is great for me as my time is limited, and I know that he will make contacts and get things done without me necessarily having to be involved. I am not very IT-literate and he always explains things in a way which I can understand, which is great.”

“The Delivery Group is one of the UK’s largest e-commerce, retail and postal logistics businesses — delivering over 500 million items per year for a diverse range of B2B and B2C clients including Screwfix, Centrica, Morgan Stanley and J.P.Morgan. Dependable, high-quality technology services are absolutely critical to the Group’s dedication to fulfilling client and end-customer promises. To this end, we appointed David, our part-time Freeman Clarke IT Director, to work alongside our IT team to prioritize and drive through a program of IT improvement projects to help position us for ongoing service quality and business growth. These projects included various improvements to IT disaster recovery and security capabilities, technical platform configuration, and IT supplier management. In addition, David identified some strategic considerations to factor into our Group operating model. Engaging with an experienced IT Director through Freeman Clarke has ensured we have implemented some important projects at a fraction of the cost of employing a permanent member of staff — a great model from which we will continue to benefit.”
