With the advice I was given, it allowed me to open up and become a much better manager."

He has the ability to keep me in a positive frame of mind, motivating me to achieve beyond my known ability."
• "Since the first day I started, he has always been someone I could go to for any issues, inside or outside of work. He believed in me from day one, encouraged my application for Team Leader, and has been there for me every day since. In recent times, he has been the perfect amount of stern, fair and understanding, encouraging my ability to flourish and getting the very best out of me. While there is a long way to go in my personal development, I am confident that with Gareth to look up to my full potential can be achieved."
• "Gareth is a brilliant mentor. He has really pushed me in the direction to further my career. Since starting in this company, he has taught me by pushing me out of my comfort zone to gain confidence in my role. My goal is to become a team leader and Gareth has side by side shown me the ropes and what I need to do to get there. I have learnt a lot of things from him, and I believe he has made me a better asset to the company and a better person. I now have the confidence and belief that I can go further in my role and Gareth has played a big part in helping me get there"

• "Whenever I go to her, without any hesitation, she'll happily help me. Sometimes she even follows up on whether the issue is resolved or not.

• "To me, a mentor is someone who not just teaches you something, but someone who makes you believe you can do it. Someone who motivates you to do the best job you can. And someone who pushes you to challenge new obstacles.
