“Everything that Michael does he gives maximum effort and focus. In an industry that is very competitive Michael stands out from the rest as he is very good at how he conducts his work and never lets people down. He is a driven individual who enjoys his work and he has no concept of the word 'quit' and that trait means he works hard to explore every avenue for his stakeholders. He is a true leader with a team that are willing and happy to follow him knowing that he will be leading them in the right direction. I am confident that Michael will continue to be a success.“

Zoe Cannon

Said the following about Michael Walker:

“Michael joined the Consulting Rail business at a critical time where they had plans for huge expansion, which in such a niche market is no easy task. Michael contributed to adding industry leading experts to the team on very challenging projects, as well as transforming the recruitment process to enable successful delivery of our growth. It very quickly comes apparent when working with Michael that he appreciates and understands the challenges we face in the industry, but is creative in tackling these objectives to put forward opportunities for existing employees as well as attracting new people into the business.“

Andi Ford

Said the following about Michael Walker:

“It have been a pleasure to work with Michael this year. Michael has a relaxed, but professional approach which really gets the best out of his team.

He leads by example, and always has an open door policy. What I find refreshing is that he takes time daily to catch up with colleagues, even though he has a busy and stressful job himself.

I would class Michael more of a colleague than manager.“

Zainab Daud

Said the following about Michael Walker:

“I have had the pleasure of working with Michael and have witnessed first-hand the day to day support he provides to our Consulting-Rail team not only with resourcing queries but with really partnering with the business and advising them of how to better their processes and strategies. Whilst Michael has been key to the Rail division growing their team, he has also provided support to his colleagues sharing best practise and his learns. Always has time to help others and I know we appreciate that! I look forward to continuing to work with Michael.“
