Testimonials
Damien helped me pull together my business plan in a quick and effortless way, he got the information from my head and down onto the page in a logical way that told the story that my funders needed to see. I was stuck before working with Damien, but he helped me overcome the writers block to produce a fantastic business plan. – Joanne Reed CEO SkinSecure ltd
Having worked alongside Damien for the past year, helping to create new businesses based on innovative scientific research, I would highly recommend his services. Damien’s experience and extensive, up-to-the-minute knowledge added significant value to each and every one of the commercialisation projects he mentored. His perception is excellent and his ability to identify and nurture good business propositions is second-to-none. On a personal level, Damien is an absolute pleasure to work with.”
I really enjoyed attending the ‘Regulations of First in Man Clinical Studies’. The course contains a huge amount of information but the format of the course enabled everyone to ask questions and use personal examples – it did not matter if you had clinical trial experience or were a novice like me. Tony and Damien encouraged group participation and the course material and handouts such as application forms as well as ethical requirements will be extremely valuable for the future. I will definitely be able to apply the knowledge that I have gained from this course into working practice. – Jennifer Cusiter, University of Edinburgh
