RECOMMENDATIONS

Views from previous clients, colleagues and stakeholders.

Richard was a real pleasure to work with and someone I genuinely valued learning from. His knowledge of consumer debt, collections, recoveries, debt advice and insolvency solutions was exceptional, and what stood out most was how openly and practically he shared that expertise. 

When I moved into a role dealing with insolvency, Richard's support made a real difference. He helped me understand complex debt solutions more quickly, consider the wider customer impact and identify the right internal stakeholders. 

Richard was approachable, generous with his time and brought real clarity to complicated issues. He combined deep technical expertise with a genuine focus on doing the right thing for customers.

As a highly credible specialist on consumer financial difficulties Richard has proven to be a unique and powerful asset to our business. The consistency of his messaging across internal teams, clients and in the press, enables him to reach all audiences - other experts and those new to the topic alike - in a very compelling way. What is clear in talking to, and working with Richard, is that he fundamentally believes in the benefits for consumers, creditors and society as a whole, of using data to enable the best debt solution specific to the customers’ unique set of needs. 

I've worked with, and for, Richard at TDX group and IVA Watch (Aryza). He is a consumer debt industry expert with a wide and deep network covering creditors of all types - debt purchasers - regulators, suppliers (i.e. DCAs), Insolvency Practitioners' and debt advice organisations. As a business development lead, I've worked with Richard in several ways. The first is Richard working with me to outline the market strategy to understand the addressable market opportunities, then building out an engagement model that systematically (almost industrialising) the production of sales pipeline opportunities. The model includes a combination of one-to-one targeting of strategic opportunities, events, thought leadership (white papers, research, etc.) and lead generation. This systematic approach enables consistent engagement with the market and a wide and deep targeting of opportunities creating a pipeline that then can be managed by sales teams and sales leaders. Richard also acts as a subject matter expert - his network and expertise bring gravitas to senior meetings and decision making - his knowledge enables creative problem solving which typically removes objections and accelerate deals. Richard also coaches on specific deals/proposals/pitches or with contacts or challenges. He is also very effective at the grind work of holding stakeholders accountable for pipeline opportunity progression and making sure that the agreed strategy is deployed on a consistent basis - the UK collections and recoveries ecosystem is competitive and repeat high quality engagement is required to get key stakeholders engaged and to build traction.
