The way that [Monteith Steen] are managing the maintenance and lifecycle works on the project is being held up as a model to other PPP contracts around Scotland.

Alan stepped into what was an extremely fragile and difficult situation for a client company during the economic crisis. The project was prospectively in default and facing termination. Had this happened, the client company faced losses running to the tens of millions (£).  Alan brought stability and credibility to the situation within only a few days of being appointed.  He provided a calm and "in control" dynamic to the ultimate client and was instrumental in achieving a successful rescue re-financing.  Alan achieved this by adopting an honest and upfront approach and by establishing effective relationships with and the trust of key suppliers and contractors.  Alan remained calm and focused throughout the process and his obvious experience of the construction and engineering sectors shone through.  I'd have no hesitation in recommending Alan to other clients.

Alan took a role at a mutual client at a very difficult time. He managed to sort out a refinancing package in the midst of the economic crisis. His easy management style made things seem a lot less chaotic than they really were, enabling all parties to bring the project to a successful conclusion.

The approach that Alan and his team brought has meant major changes in the way building services are provided.  This is already delivering a more efficient service achieving results and value for money.
