Colleagues describe him as "I had the pleasure to work with Lawrence in the capacity of Sales Director at MHR. He always led the team with passion and a winning style that embraced the sales function. One thing he was instrumental in was bringing in outside procurement consultancy to aid the sales team in their understanding of public sector procurement. Together we implemented a bid review process that closely scrutinised the requirements and reviewed alternative models the prospect had at their disposal in terms of their form of tender. This led to the building of a "Bid Team" to formally manage all tenders. The result being an increase in winning numerous tenders both public and commercial. This translated from a starting point of 1 in 6 to 1 in 2 within a 12 month period. He scrutinised the bids and was heavily involved in the negotiation of the commercials and contractual variations for hundreds of clients, always maintaining a "Win, Win" approach for both business and customer.

I have always been inspired and had a huge amount of respect for his enthusiasm, determination, vision and his ability to drive and motivate a team. He's a great character both inside the office as well as out. He thrives on new challenges, new technology and embraces new working methods and always goes that extra mile to see something through to the end. When the people in our office said the walls are a bit dull... Guess who came in and painted/brightened them up? Yeah, I'd certainly work with Lawrence again given the chance."
