Said the following about Matthew Jones:

“Matt is a project manager with positive, ‘can do’ attitude. He is currently looking after a multi-million pounds, multi-disciplinary design project. This project has been running in several phases, all with tight timescales and very unique challenges. But, Matt has been managing this project very efficiently. He takes a pragmatic view on any issue and tries to resolve them within reasonable timescales. Matt never lets his team down and shares the responsibility when things aren’t going in the right direction. His organisational skills are excellent, which makes him a great project manager. Even though Matt doesn’t have an engineering background, he understands the technical issues and interfaces clearly and provides appropriate support to the design teams. Matt is great communicator and very good at building up professional relationships quickly.“

Said the following about Matthew Jones:

“Matt has a great sense of leadership and organisational skills which is vital as a project manager. He's currently working on the CVL Wales and Borders project and is doing a fantastic job. Even though it's a complex project requiring management of many parties, Matt is able to adapt and flourish in an ever-evolving, multi-disciplinary environment. While I was new to delivery management, Matt was understanding and able to guide me through the proper processes on the project.  I've also been able to learn from him as he can discern the most pragmatic approach, focus on the important tasks at hand and is quick to act on any issues that arises. ​He is also always switched on when problem-solving and is great at communicating to all parties involved such as the engineering team, project management team and client.“
