Colleagues describe him as "I have worked with John over the last two years, I have learned more from him in that time than any other line manager I have worked with in my lengthy career. John’s knowledge of the public, private and third sectors are second to none but equally important he is great at sharing his knowledge and guiding his staff whilst allowing them autonomy, something which is not always easy to balance. John and I were among the first to be employed by South of Scotland Enterprise, as Covid restrictions came into place, which meant that none of us were doing the job we had signed up for. John’s guidance, enthusiasm and support meant that the daunting task we were dealing with became a positive experience. John is passionate about Fair Work both internally in the organisation he works for but also in the wider business landscape and leads by example. John’s leadership skills will be an asset to any organisation he works or volunteers with." and "John is the most empowering and thoughtful leader I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with and for. His people-centric approach creates a trusting, collaborative environment where individual thoughts are encouraged and where everyone is recognised for their contribution. John has a strong moral compass and is not afraid to challenge as he sees fit, but does so in a constructive and respectful manner. His ability to see and get the best out of people, combined with his great sense of humour and encyclopaedic knowledge of just about everything inspire loyalty from his team, as well as creating a genuinely happy and supportive working environment."
