Comments:

Harold is a generalist, with extensive experience and knowledge in the SME sector, ‘having been there, done it, got the tee shirt’. People-oriented, with a ‘hands-on’ attitude, working with the philosophy that there is no ‘I’ in ‘team’. A record of being in the ‘right place at the right time’ has ensured exposure to a large variety of business and experiences.

Willing to ‘muck in’ to get the job done, and believes everyone has a part to play in the success of the business, with a pragmatic approach to any situation.
