What People are saying about us……

Says Regus UK Building Projects Director, Tina Wolder: “Barry’s not just another consultant; he has a huge amount of experience of a technical nature and can justify his decisions, so we really understand the detail.  He has helped us to fit in with the Carbon Trust’s requirements; there were a lot of possible energy efficiency elements we could have used,  but PASCHALi helped us pin down what is most important for our business. The firm has given us a sense of direction, stopped us getting  distracted as a business and their real commitment has focused us towards best practice.  Barry has helped us understand what we are signing up to, challenging specifications so we end up with much better products for the long term.  It is very refreshing to see his passion in driving projects to conclusion.”

 

Says Regus Commercial Property Manager, Julian Malone: “Barry is a problem solver who settles concerns, sees the point and simplifies everything to make it accessible. He has access to external resources that have helped us manage the targets we must achieve. Barry has very eloquently helped with communications to ensure everyone is aware of their responsibilities. His action plans and worksheets have simplified the ways we manage our teams and the key to quickly rolling out our plans. The monthly Green Board meetings Barry chairs have become a fundamental part of our Regus UK environmental policy roll out” 

 

Says Regus UK Procurement Director, Mark Le Good:  This has been a two-fold project driven by the CRC and corporate social responsibility.  PASCHALi brings subject matter expertise in collating the right information and understanding Regus’ corporate needs, minimising both cost and risk.  He has helped us get positive buy-in across the business. We don’t have the in-house knowledge nor a dedicated member of staff whose sole responsibility it is to look at this.  So we rely on this cost-effective process and approach, which continues to save us money.  On a personal level, Barry does exactly what he agrees to and is approachable and helpful, while driving change through to achieve our objectives.”

Says MD of Just Energy, Scott Cairns: “Barry is an ear on the main board. He operates at this level very comfortably and has been the key to progress, getting the right people in the right room and talking the right language. We’re super pleased with how he has moved us forward!”

 

Says Head of British Telecom’s Property Procurement, Paul Carlaw: “Barry was a director who worked almost invisibly, while delivering a lot! He is a true professional and I have worked with him for many years. He delivers great results and is well liked and respected by his clients and colleagues with the experience that matters.  He has become a committed and trustworthy friend who you can rely on. I have no hesitation in recommending Barry - he is an expert in his field and is one to be trusted.”

Says Royal Mail’s Environment Manager, Robert McCann:  “Barry is very inclusive, open to ideas and keen to get involvement and input from the team.  He’s helped create an atmosphere of creativity and fostered new ways of thinking, but always with the end goal in mind. Technically, he is very knowledgeable and makes informed, reasonable judgements. It would be quite easy to get bogged down in detail but Barry is able to cut through with clear sight to the strategy. The firm provided a succinct paper covering broad subject areas, yet including specific Royal Mail insights.  Barry even visited a mail centre to look at our low-cost mail programme, a refreshing attention to detail.”

 

Says Royal Mail’s Energy & Building Engineering Services Manager,  Mark Cavill, used the Survival Strategies guide internally to inform key stakeholders about what the business should and should not be doing.  He says: “It is a really clear, concise and graphic piece of work, whereby it is easy to compare cash benefits to environmental ones.  It answers questions about how these apply to our business and is not at the level that can only be understood by an astronaut!   Combined in one document are case studies and ways of looking at concerns from the perspective of engineers, strategists, legal professionals – everyone from the technically literate to those who are not.  Barry is an expert in his field, delivering great results whatever challenge he is given and in a truly professional manner.”

 

Says Arup Director, Chris Jofeh, who co-wrote the report said:

“With existing buildings contributing close to 50% of the UK’s energy consumption and carbon emissions it is crucial to bring them up to standard so that they can remain competitive, compliant and meet the needs of their owners.”

 

Says UK Green Building Council CEO, Paul King, said:

“The report provides a very common sense approach, very simply laid out, very logically focusing on doing the basics first.  Quite often the sustainability agenda gets hijacked with high tech gadgets and gizmos but of course a lot of the biggest savings can be made by running and managing existing buildings better than we are at the moment.”

 

Says MD of Cambridge Maintenance Services Ltd, Colin Wills: “We have enjoyed a strong working relationship.  Barry is an easy man to get on with and very knowledgeable as an engineer. He has a good commercial head, focusing his absolute attention and driving timescales.”

 

Says MD of Theo’s Pastry, Alex Theodore: “The process lowered our overheads in a sector with very tight margins. We are now in a better position to win more work from new clients, because we meet their standards.”

 

Says Senior HR Advisor, Atkinsglobal, Suzie Bogle: "I was Barry's HR advisor at Atkins, within a couple of days of starting the job, a crisis hit (death of an employee) and I was impressed with Barry's ability to deal with the situation in regard to communication and engagement with his regional team.  Barry is a creative and intelligent leader, constantly looking for ways to improve performance and work with his team to increase motivation and productivity."

Says Director, Bauman Lyons Architects, Irene Bauman: "Initially Barry helped with gaining grants for improving energy efficiency of the office and then with preparing designs and obtaining quotations for improving the office premises with PV solar panels. We now have a developing relationship with him and very much like working with Barry. He is entrepreneurial, flexible, personable and responsive to our needs at Bauman Lyons."

Says Director, Global Talent Centre at Leeds Business School, Mike Rogers: "Barry continues to support and contribute to the development of sustainability education at Leeds University Business School.  He has delivered practioner qualified presentations on the "The Path to Greener Working" as part of the School's Strategic Management module.  This module equips business students with an understanding of the theoretical underpinnings of sustainable business practices as a strategic issue."

Says Graham Keddie, GSPK Ltd: " Barry advised us on how we could draught proof our windows and identified very inexpensive improvements which would stop us losing energy.  He also advised us on more energy efficient lighting.  We took his suggestions on board and hope to save money as a result. we are very happy with Barry's service, and the way he raised our awareness of simple measures to improve our carbon credentials that may not have automatically occured to us."

Says Practice Manager, Blacks Solicitors LLP, John Best: “Barry put together a comprehensive greener working and energy saving action plan which included things we may not necessarily have thought of ourselves....we were very happy with his innovative thinking”

Says Payroll and Accounts Payable Manager, Abbeyglen, Andy Atkinson: “Barry highlighted ideas on how we could save money on the way we provide deliveries, and how we could save diesel. He looked at our processes then supported us in implementing the recommendations in a helpful and practical way...... We are very busy, so Barry’s clear and comprehensive approach was ideal and efficient”

Says Sonya Atkins, Yorkshire Area Office, Lloyds TSB Commercial: "I feel Barry's presentation was perfect for what we were looking to achieve with the event and I think that it hit the mark with the audience too.  Everyone that I have spoken to has given me really positive feedback on your presentation."

Says Regus Communications Manager, Henry Collinge: “I never expected we would be as far along as we are at this time, already visibly reducing our carbon footprint. PASCHALi has really been a source of experience and focus for us. It is invaluable having someone looking objectively without any background agenda
