Reviews & Testimonials

I've been fortunate to work with Barry on two occasions as my Finance Director. Barry is an outstanding financial controller who is never happier than when he has his sleeves rolled up in a spreadsheet but he provides so much more than that! Barry is a strategic thinker able to plan ahead and is also skilled at designing financial control systems that simplify financial accounting and management so the business leadership can see clearly how things are going and plot the way ahead. Barry is also a great leader and manager who understands about and cares for his people every bit as much as he cares about following the numbers. Any business would be fortunate to have Barry leading or in the team.

I was lucky enough to report to, and be mentored by, Barry for over 2 years. In that time to say I learned a lot would be an understatement: everything from how the financials and systems within a business work to leadership and business advice. Working with Barry gave me the ability to progress my career and become a more measured, educated and thoughtful team member.

Barry is an excellent Financial Controller with a strong understanding of the current business position whilst always aware of the future requirements and planning required for business. He's also a whizz with excel! I'm looking forward to working with Barry again in the future.

Barry has established Scotland's premier business forums for help and advice. His efforts have gone a long way towards pushing the businesses of Scotland into the 21st century in terms of use of IT and the Internet. The Scottish Business Forums are a fantastic resource for all Scottish-based businesses, big, small, or just starting up!
