Testimonials
John is a pleasure to work with, he hit the ground running at Toolstation, understood challenges early and made a quick impact in consolidating activities to create a strategy to drive the Digital business forward. He has a calm and engaging leadership style with the ability to see the big picture but also be hands on operationally. I found John very clear in his presentation of ideas and we built a good relationship in a short space of time. John was a great addition to the team - thank you for your support and commitment.
John Danter: IT Director at Toolstation
John stepped in to support us on an interim contract, during a period of change in our e-commerce team.
He was brilliant at diving straight in, taking initiative to learn about the brand, assess existing processes, and make recommendations for streamlining ways of working.
He was strong at building relationships across the team, bringing departments together to work in a more collaborative way, and he had a great proactive approach to seeking out opportunities to fuel site engagement.
John led our external Tech/D2C agency partners for a short period of time, to reset priorities and focus, evaluate ROI upside, and was great at communicating progress and updates to key stakeholders.
John’s calm approach, attention to detail, and understanding of the levers of growth for D2C, was really valuable during peak trading, and his ability to shape work streams to deliver quick wins, whilst also plan in longer term roadmap opportunities was an asset to the team.
Clare Wain: Global Marketing Director at Neom
John helped us rationalise our online offer. He supported moving Buildex across to our core offering of Bradfords.co.uk and whilst doing so galvanised the team. The team are more focused, more driven and more knowledgeable thanks to his help and support. The 6 month plan that resulted was sensible and deliverable and has allowed us to take a major step forward in our eCommerce development.
David Young: Group CEO at the Bradfords group
John came in to support the business as cover whilst we recruited for our permanent digital marketing manager with the objective to ensure continuity of handover and also input into our 20/21 digital strategy. It was a pleasure having John work within the team, who instantly instilled confidence and stability during the transition, including internal colleagues and externally with our digital agency partners. John also gave additional support through a strategic review of the Damart digital activity and spend vs. the market to help inform our future strategy and areas of improvement. As well as critical feedback on our way of working and internal structure. All of which has helped to guide our future strategy. On top of all this, he’s just a great guy to work with - an absolute pleasure to have as part of our team and I am sure we will work together again at some point.
Ben Phillips: Head of Ecommerce at Damart UK
John & I worked together on his most recent project. I found him to show great flexibility in adapting quickly to the demands of a new market vertical he was placed in. He also proved adept at working in a fast paced culture and effected much change in a relatively short time frame, including new channels to market, better ways of working and delivering significant marketing cost savings. I highly recommend John on that basis, I wish him well and hope we will work on other projects down the line.
