“I am new to the public sector, and Paul has really helped not only me but also our wider team understand and link into the services of CCS. Without Paul being in his role, I genuinely think that we would struggle to access the depth and breadth of CCS services, and potentially end up going outside of existing frameworks.”
Rhys Mitchell MCIPS
Deputy Head of Commercial, Companies House
