"Dave supported us with a review of our student recruitment market portfolio, delivering a detailed and impactful piece of analysis.
He demonstrated a strong ability to engage with stakeholders, listen to requirements, and constructively challenge assumptions to enhance the overall scope of the project.
His in-depth data analysis provided valuable insights into our current student recruitment markets, while also identifying new areas of opportunity.
What stood out most was his ability to translate complex datasets and present findings in a way that was accessible and meaningful to a broad audience.
