James Woodward

Senior Manager, Head of IT Business Partnering & Programmes

"Clifford is a highly capable and trusted Principal Infrastructure Engineer at the top of his game. I have always been impressed by his depth and breadth of knowledge across multiple technologies, and his ability to translate this into language that less technical people can understand. He also has a keen interest in the business processes and ways of working, and what his technical delivery really means in terms of the end user experience or customer interface. I would highly recommend Clifford for senior infrastructure technology positions for his drive, thought leadership, technical knowledge, and character."

"Cliff is an extraordinary person a great developer and careening colleague. His DevOps skills are up and beyond any one engineer I have ever met. On top of that, his broad knowledge of all IT subjects benefited us all. He can wear many 'hats' and fit well in any IT track that he is pursuing. I highly recommend him and wish him luck in his new endeavours"

Matt Smolka

Matt Smolka

Principal Engineer - Advanced Simulation

"I've had the pleasure of working with Clifford since the early days of our AI group at Lotus Cars. Clifford's deep understanding of AI and his leadership have significantly contributed to the success and advancement of our team. Clifford stands out for his professionalism in client interactions and his exceptional patience and guidance towards younger, less experienced colleagues. His willingness to mentor and coach has fostered a positive and collaborative work environment, enhancing the overall productivity and expertise of our team. Clifford's technical acumen, coupled with his commitment to team development, makes him an invaluable asset. His influence and contributions have been key in driving our group forward."

Al Coutts

Al Coutts

Senior Manager

"Cliff is a consummate professional and my first port of call when I need Oracle, Linux or database advice, plans or delivery. He consistently puts the organisation's best interests first and foremost and can generally see around the next potential gotcha and has a variety of solutions in advance, all carefully graded and appraised as to risk, delivery-speed, cost and quality. His thinking is elevated and he is a very valuable manager of the technical resource pool. Cliff cares passionately about the quality of his team's deliveries and just wants things done properly but is pragmatic enough to realise that operational exigencies may prevent this."
