I regard myself first and foremost as a lucky man. I am very grateful for the opportunity of having worked with many really fabulous people over my career so far. These comments below are from some of these people – who have either entered them on web-pages like “Linked-In” or have specifically asked me to display them on here. I have been really touched by them because, not only are they very kind, they have all come completely unsolicited.
