Stephen Plumb, Affinity Water, Asset Strategy & Capital Delivery

I have now worked with Clair on a number of occasions in a total of 4 different organisation. This is no accident, as Clair is one of those special people who you always want in your team, especially if you have tight deadlines for a hugely complex project or programme. I would highly recommend Clair and hope that we will find the opportunity to work together again soon.

It has been an absolute pleasure working with Clair over the last 2 years.

Neil Walker, MTR Executive Director

Clair is a first class programme manager who has successfully developed and delivered all stages of MTR’s complex bid and mobilisation programmes since 2013. Clair is adept in motivating and managing large, multi-disciplinary and diverse teams, together with client/customer representatives and all stakeholders. I have always been impressed with how Clair delights in overcoming challenges and navigating through change, complexity and ambiguity. Clair is highly professional, personable and committed. I highly recommend Clair and hope the opportunity soon arises for Clair to work with us again.

Oliver Bratton, Network Rail, Director of Network Strategy & Operations

Clair makes things happen. Whether the task is trivial or onerous, she is there to support the team at all levels and to deliver results. I have worked with her on complex bids and mobilisation projects, and her organisational and planning skills have been invaluable. Furthermore, she is highly capable and adaptable: she is not ‘just another programme manager’; she has supported me on risk management, software delivery and contract management - amongst many other areas.
