“AVAM Solutions were a great help during my starting period at the company. Not only was Keith great at proposing strategic advice on the direction the function should take but also then also delivered category management training, created savings definitions to enhance our relationship with Finance and helped source an e platform tool to help move the function along the maturity curve. I found him to be honest, knowledgeable and most importantly emotionally intelligent which helped him forge strong relations with stakeholders in a short space of time.”

“Three elements always stood out with Keith at AVAM Solutions. 1- He absolutely took ownership of delivery and the quality of his impact. 2- His word was extremely valuable, you would get what you needed once he'd committed to help you and 3- he has a calm, effective intelligence and ready humour which help to navigate tough situations.”

Keith worked closely with my team to identify key messages and explore options to generate engaging content. Keith presented a clear delivery plan with timescales which he met, innovative communication ideas, but most importantly listened and worked with us. The outcome was incredibly well received with positive organisational engaging content. I was impressed by Keith's knowledge and understanding and found the experience working with AVAM to be a delight. I look forward to our next opportunity to work together."

Over the three months that followed Keith made a really important contribution to a complex project, I look forward to having the opportunity to work with him and AVAM Solutions again.”

“Keith has worked on a couple of procurement projects for me within the public sector in a central govt department. He has displayed extreme professionalism and has quickly developed an understanding of the complexities of the services he was procuring as well as the governance around spending public money. Well respected by all stakeholders and trusted to deliver he has been a valued member of my extended team and delivered some great value for money solutions for my customers. I would have no hesitation in working with Keith again.”

Keith did that successfully and much more, always bringing a fresh and pragmatic approach to fit our level of maturity as a business. He is a true team player, friendly, dedicated, very knowledgeable technically, commercial, happy to go the extra mile, willing to 'roll up his sleeves' when needed and be flexible. He quickly built strong relationships with both internal and external stakeholders, and helped to develop the procurement team- and always with a smile on his face and a great sense of humour. He is an absolute pleasure to work with and I would not hesitate to recommend him and AVAM Solutions to others or to engage them on future projects.”
