I have known Sajid for over 8 years during which time he placed me in roles. In spite of knowing me and my background, he adopted a very professional approach in assessing my Goals & Ambitions and presenting a Plan of Action, which I am working to, and which is already achieving results. He has given me a lot of food-for-thought around self-projection & marketing my skillset. Sajid intuitively knows when to adopt a Coaching approach and when to shift to more of a Mentor.

It is also a rare person that takes a call from you late at night to ‘talk’…he takes that call because he cares, is interested and your call is as important to him as it is to you. Sajid has worked with me from my first steps into healthcare and has stayed supporting me in too many roles and projects to mention. He has been instrumental throughout my career. I trust him and can attest that working with Sajid has been one of my deepest pleasures. I regularly thank him for his support, concern and good advice and am grateful for all he has done for me.”
