  • “It is only years later reflecting on great leadership and great leaders that I realise the mammoth task undertaken by Kevin taking over Porsche Cars Great Britain in 1992. His willingness to confront what Jim Collins calls the brutal facts along with a willingness to listen to all before embarking upon the right strategy for the time is an enormous credit to Kevin. I am eternally grateful to have been there and witnessed such great leadership and to see how strong the brand of Porsche is is in some way part of the work undertaken in those difficult times. Thanks.”

  • “Kevin spoke to a group of us at an entrepreneurs forum event. His energy and his story were inspirational but more than that, he oozed leadership-focussed, common sense. I left that evening with far deeper wisdom than I had turned up with, which has served me well over the last 12 months in growing my own business. Book him as a business speaker, your people will thank you for it.”
