James McGinn, Managing Director, Hastings Hotels
“As an employer what I liked about Podd Consulting was that it is an inclusive process and all of the projects are thoroughly scoped, planned and delivered meticulously. Podd Consulting owned the process, monitored, evaluated and modified when necessary and at all times offering opinion and taking feedback.”
