Public Sector Consultants

 

Paul Spencer, Director of Transformation, Norwich City Council said ”We have much appreciated the support of Public Sector Consultants in both our finance improvement programme and the development of the financial elements of our case for unitary status. Public Sector Consultants were instrumental in the good progress made on both projects, and we have valued their straightforward and effective advice."

Jo Fullerton (IT Project Manager) - Rates Collection Agency - Belfast said "Public Sector Consultants provided me with a Test Manager (Lesley Holmes) to assist in the integration of a bespoke benefits system with a newly developed revenue system.

During the testing process Lesley identified faults with the original specification and worked very hard to ensure that the specification was corrected. Lesley was a very conscientious, hard worker who understood the benefits environment completely. She worked with both the new IT supplier and the outgoing suppliers and with staff from other internal organisations and gained their respect and trust.

I would have no hesitation in approaching Public Sector Consultants again should I require similar services in the future."

Dec Mooney – Head of Finance – Hart District Council said “We have engaged the Company on several occasions and have always found them to be extremely knowledgeable, competent and professional in their approach to our issues and their assistance towards resolving those issues.

“Also their ability to 'hit the ground running' is impressive no matter what issues and challenges they are asked to undertake. In addition, their staff are always helpful, polite and courteous in their dealings with existing Council staff and are comfortable when dealing with senior Officers and leading Members.”

Alex Anderson, Group Manager - Regeneration Finance for London Borough of Barking & Dagenham commented after extending the services of Mike Harley. "Please do take this extension as a recognition of the good work that Mike is doing for us – he is bringing much needed capacity to the team and bringing with that robust and good practice for the team to learn from. In the short time he has been here he has very quickly built up strong relationships within and outside the team so I am pleased that Mike has agreed the extension."

Ms Laura McGillivray Chief Executive of Norwich City Council said "Public Sector Consultants has been a cornerstone of our financial improvement plan so when we needed support for our unitary bid, we turned to them. Their support has been highly professional and competent. Specialist technical back up has been there when we needed it. Our consultant has felt like one of our team and has been highly valued. He has been hard working competent and capable".

Munir Shukri, Head of Resources & IT (Education Children’s Service & Leisure), London Borough of Enfield said “The consultant's work was excellent and he performed his duties with honesty and integrity. The project was not straightforward and involved dealing with people in a very sensitive manner.”

Donald Graham Director of Community and Social Services at Enfield LBC said "This highly significant achievement would not have been secured without the assistance of Public Sector Consultants whose representatives brought both financial rigour but also a deep knowledge of the subject area including detailed awareness of the various grant regimes". He added "Public Sector Consultants involvement was vital to this success".

"Public Sector Consultants has the individuals with the capacity to work with Directors, service providers and interface successfully with politicians in a Member led Council. Enfield's position is a singular achievement for a London borough and indeed the majority of local authority social service providers" said Donald Graham, Director of Community and Social Services at Enfield LBC.

Gordon Perry Chief Executive of Kensington and Chelsea TMO said of David Lincoln "His position as temporary Director of Financial Services has presented a number of both operational and strategic challenges, which he addressed with competence, thoroughness and commitment. He found the perfect balance between being an 'interim manager' and a 'consultant' - bringing the best of both worlds. I wish we could have kept him longer!"

Wendy Sager Head of Education Finance at Southwark said of David Elcock "I am delighted with the professionalism and commitment David has shown in his time here. I am sure a first assignment is never easy, especially when you are so far from home. However, David has not only made a significant contribution to the development and day to day running of the finance team but has also contributed as an individual and team player. I now approach Public Sector Consultants as a matter of course for any senior requirements and am always impressed at the understanding of the requirement and the calibre of candidates offered".

"David, Dave, David and Richard enhanced further the Company's reputation for delivering services efficiently and effectively. Clearly Public Sector Consultants are developing a specialism in relation to Education Finance." said Wendy Sager, head of Education Finance at Southwark
