I have had the pleasure of working with Dan on a number of occasions since starting in the same industry. I was particularly impressed by his ability to handle even the toughest situations – effortlessly. That skill often takes years to develop among customer service professionals, but it seemed to come perfectly naturally to him. Oh, and Dan made sure every morning atmosphere meeting was never without fun and excitement. Talk about motivating a team! He is going to become an incredible MD/CEO in the near future.

Daniel has been a huge influence on the way I think since I have known him, he always sets the right example and is someone who I look up to in the sense of someone I want to model my future character on. His transparency enables everyone to enjoy & privilege their time around him. I have learnt a lot from him in a short space of time in all aspects. His problem solving skills are second to none and his ability to communicate his message, and impact everyone around him is improving everyday.
