"Where others can only see problems, Dermot perseveres to find solutions. He worked out a methodical way to navigate numerous barriers in a complex restructure of our trading and property group, exhibiting the ability to digest significant quantities of interconnected financial and corporate information, where others had failed. He acts with the highest level of integrity and knowledge, and more importantly he takes a personal interest in finding answers to problems and convincing others of the way forward - even when that involves working long hours and making personal sacrifice.
