"I have known Mr Grewcock for nearly a year in his capacity as the IT Services Team Leader at Harrow Council. I had an opportunity to work with him and his team during my employment as in Interim Project Manager, managing the Corporate Printer Replacement Program. I have always found him to be cooperative and accommodating in all instances.
His team members and colleagues have always spoken very highly of him. He is highly regarded within the Council for his strong work ethic, professionalism and personal attributes.
He has managed to keep his team motivated and in good spirits to deliver a world-class service at a time when IT requirements are always changing and evolving within the Council in response to developing technology and policies.
His weekly news update, included planned events, following weeks schedule, team whereabout and a thought for the week. His ability to communicate and keep everyone informed was highly regarded and appreciated. Thought for the week was always thought provoking and often led to purposeful reflections.
He has qualities of being a good listener and strategic thinker, combinations in a manager that have gained him the respect and loyalty of his team. I have always found him to be a supportive and helpful colleague and consider it a privilege to have worked with him and sharing ideas.
I can highly recommend David Grewcock and believe him to be an asset to any organisation. I wish him all the best in his future career and am confident that he will go on to inspire, motivate and support others in the way that he did so successfully at Harrow Council."
