“I needed doers; people who make
things happen rather than flashy stuff.”

“The big value proposition to me about David Hilliard and Mentor is that they know execution inside out. They are seasoned guys, steeped in what they do”

“Greater comfort was going to come from using David Hilliard because of his past delivery and performance.”

“David Hilliard is a class act. If we had something that was really tough… or had gone off the rails, I would pick up the phone to David. I would trust him to deliver it”

“They have people with fantastic experience who have actually been through the fire”

“David and his company, Mentor, played a central role in driving the successful delivery of a £.5bn major program roll out for one of my key customers. The program had encountered a number of obstacles typical of a major IT/Comms roll out and David’s experience and methodology brought real impetus to the program. His team became fundamental in the roll out, building strong relationships across our supplier base and crucially with the customer, helping to rebuild trust and credibility.”

David is a very experienced, high integrity businessperson. He understands both established business models but also more immature and developing environments. He sets expectations very clearly and is focused on delivering value. He is open and direct with feedback – but also receives feedback extremely well.

David brings a wealth of experience in major program management – together with a hefty dose of common sense and pragmatism. He can quickly diagnose what’s wrong and table a prescription to put it right. It’s always a pleasure to work with someone who refuses to make a drama out of a crisis.
