Colleagues describe him as "Patrick is one of those people you would always choose for your team if you could hand-pick. He managed a very heavy and broad workload at LOCOG and you always knew that Patrick would do a great job on anything he took on. He is particularly good at quickly turning an idea or aspiration onto something real. He also has superb analytical, planning and problem solving skills. Amongst other things Patrick was key in defining the strategy for City Operations; establishing a process to recruit c. 3000 team members within a short time period; developing policies and procedures; providing secretariat to a key national level operational task force; setting up and managing the City Ops Functional Coordination Centre at Games-time; and basically just sorting everyone out. I'd work with him again without hesitation." and "I worked with Patrick to deliver the recruitment of approximately 1500 last mile paid staff. The project was delivered at speed and required all members of the project team to deliver to a very high standard in their area of expertise. I was extremely impressed with Patrick's contribution at all stages. He approached each challenge with a calm and professional manner and delivered solutions to keep the project progressing. I hope that we get to work together again one day."
