Chris took a whole swathe of legislation - from across a multitude of agencies and topics - and turned it into succinct plain English for our new site. He dedicated himself to really understanding it all and produced easy-to-read 'snapshots' that fitted seamlessly into the work already done. His professionalism is great and he plays well with others!

Ground Rules Project Lead
Ministry for Primary Industries
The extent and quality of the preparatory research, and particularly the content and the structure was outstanding. Chris' preparation and commitment to the project exceeded reasonable expectations and the end product was the foundation for his successful organisation of follow-up meetings between associated organisations, various experts and parliamentary and ministry contacts at the highest levels. Chris proved to be an outstanding team worker who can be recommended without reservation.
