'Absolutely brilliant and just what I need to complete board paper and stimulate discussion about level of investment to crack on.'

‘Very personal, thoughtful and meaningful contributions from Andy Meekings. He is an excellent, highly valued member of our delivery team. Improvement opportunities - Clone Andy!’

‘I regularly called upon the excellent Andy Meekings who throughout helped, guided, and supported us to navigate through the requests and ensured our responses met NHP (New Hospital Programme) needs. This resulted in [the project] successfully solidifying our place within the NHP scheme.’

‘Thanks so much for this, your support in the meeting earlier today. Really brilliant to have you on board.’

‘Thank you to you and the wider team for the hard work and diligence that has gone into getting the trust to its current position. Four robust and competitive tenders and a very thorough appointment process. Today’s interview process was well organised and well led. We have received feedback from all execs and non-execs involved in today’s process, who felt today provided huge assurance and a deeper level of insight into the general procurement and process we are following. Thanks for your continued dedication and energy.’

‘As the Board and the project passed an important milestone last week, I just wanted to write to thank you individually and collectively for all you have done to get us to this stage. These projects are always complex and have their frustrations, and this has had its fair share of challenges. But I’ve always been impressed by the approach you have taken as a team, without which we wouldn’t be where we are. Of course, there is lots more to do but I did want to say thank you, both from myself and from the Board. We are all appreciative, so thank you.’

‘Thank you for concluding the NEC contract on this difficult project to budget, quality, and programme. In particular, I would like to thank and acknowledge Brian Flindall for his extraordinary contribution to the process. He has worked long hours diligently and proactively to achieve the contract sum and has constructed a complicated contract (including the agreement for lease and risk allocation document) whilst ensuring our solicitors provided all of the sub agreement and licenses detail so that we achieved our deadline. His tenacity and attention to detail is a credit to him’.

'Thank you to Paul Banks and the team at CPM for providing our consultant services as a key enabler for the project.’
