“John has been a supporter of Velindre Cancer Centre fundraising since 2009 and given his support and openness to volunteer for anything we ask of him he was made an Ambassador in 2011. John has undertaken a number of high profile events on behalf of Velindre each of which has been highly successful in raising both funds and the profile of our work. He has a drive and energy that only accepts the best professional delivery in whatever he does and his attention to detail coupled with his ability to lead and motivate others around him ensures success. John is an extremely capable communicator and comfortable building relationships amongst peer groups as well as with those outside his area of professional expertise including high profile television celebrities and professional sports people that support Velindre. Using his obvious sales skills has been able to influence and negotiate incremental donations on behalf of Velindre from external sources for the events he has managed. We are delighted to have John as one of our Ambassadors and I would have no hesitation in recommending him for any leadership role in a Commercial organisation.”
