“It could write a book about Richard. We met during our directorships at AssiDoman and I knew that he was a one off. We worked together as business partners at PortaBrands and built the business quickly and successfully. Richard is one of the most entertaining, driven people I have ever met. These qualities combined with his flair for selling and negotiating make him formidable in any business environment. If you're a competitor, trust me you do not want to be presenting on the same day. In the right mood with the correct caffeine level, this guy WILL blow your socks off! What I like most about Richard is his individual style. He's not frighten to fit-in or conform in a corporate kind of way. No, with Richard you just get his true character, passion and commitment. He can be a little invasive at times (particularly if your not an MUFC fan), but this is all part of the unique firebrand which is ... Richard Davies. Can I recommend him? Yes, without question, but don't expect him to be typically British and very polite because he'll quickly tell you what he's thinking and how he thinks he can help you. Nothing wrong with that in my book.”
