“I worked with Nick as part of the Executive Team in Northern/ National Irish Bank for a period of six years. During this time National Irish faced a number of legacy problems which required sensitive liaison and management of regulatory, media and customer constituencies. Nick’s counsel and experience were invaluable to the project and to the satisfactory outcomes of what could have been an extremely damaging period for the bank. Nick is a valued colleague and a good man to have around in good and bad times to ensure any organisation’s reputation is safeguarded.”
– John Trethowan, former CEO National Irish Bank
