“Iqbal worked as a Programme/Project Manager for Croydon Council on a data centre to cloud migration project. He was responsible for the complex and critically important area of application migration. This involved multiple stakeholders and suppliers and required the ability to manage multiple workstreams and technical complexity. Iqbal did an excellent job, delivering the work to schedule with very few issues. I’m happy to recommend Iqbal and would certainly hire him again.”

Jonathon Mellor, Technology & Architecture Lead, Croydon Council

“I had the pleasure of working with Iqbal while he led the ERP transformation, and I can confidently say he was instrumental in delivering a complete overhaul – both in terms of technology and business process. What stood out most was his ability to grasp the big picture while staying on top of the technical and operational detail. He worked closely with finance, ops, and tech teams to build out entirely new processes that were both robust and future-facing.”

Richard Tallboy, CTO, The Restaurant Group

“Iqbal supported our project for a complex eCommerce solution in a potentially challenging market sector. He made great progress with the project by hitting the ground running and built a good rapport with the client – which was very important in the project. Definitely someone I would work with again.”
