"During my time at Kathmandu I worked with Kevin on a number of projects including
engaging him as a trainer for our store management teams, undertaking visual merchandising
audits and project consultancy. Kevin always presented training and advice in a
way that focused on commercial outcomes and opportunities for genuine improvement
in profitability, not simply concepts. He actively sought to understand our business,
which ensured his training was credible and meaningful to our store and support
teams."
