    Caroline Myers, Director of Insight, IGD

  • "Darren completed a comprehensive and detailed investigation of the many strands of this complex, global issue through his extensive industry knowledge and network. He produced a high-quality research report which included practical, evidence-based recommendations and estimates of the size of the prize, and gave a very well-received presentation to our board. Darren was a pleasure to work with and I’d happily recommend him for any such investigations in the future."

    Jim Dickson, Head of Retail, GS1 UK

  • "Darren gave an extremely well-researched and well-received presentation on the UK market and supply chain trends to my clients from Russia and the Ukraine. The feedback from one client, representing one of the largest online retailers in Russia, was indicative of its reception: ‘I and my colleagues were very impressed by Darren’s high level of expertise and experience. Also, the presentation included a lot of real examples and practical recommendations for beginners and advanced fresh food retailers.’ I look forward to working with Darren again in the future."

    Evgeniya Delaney, Director, Global Practice

  • "Darren did an outstanding job in understanding the Rascal business in such a short space of time which made the day very well-tailored to our needs. The most useful aspects were the time and space the day created to challenge our existing thinking in an open forum along with the various practical models Darren shared to help shape thinking. This has been an excellent catalyst for us on our ongoing innovation journey."

    Jonty Edwards, Commercial Director, Rascal Systems

  • "We used to have multiple hand written lists and forms which would take hours to work through – we spoke to Darren about creating a single database which would allow us to input all of the data and keep it in one place. Darren did not disappoint and looking back we really don’t know how we coped before. It has reduced our working hours and has given us easy access to the information we need."
