Testimonials

  • I had the pleasure of working directly with Andrew Patterson when he was tasked with rapidly designing and deploying a new PMO system for our growing Architecture & Interior Design firm. From the very start, Andrew's expertise, professionalism, clear communication and technical acumen were evident to me. Andrew brought a structured, yet flexible approach to the project, understanding our unique business needs and aligning the PMO system accordingly. His ability to quickly grasp our specific requirements to streamline workflows, and ensure seamless integration across our entire team was impressive. In record time, Andrew delivered a solution that not only met but exceeded my expectations. Thanks to Andrew's efforts, we now have a robust, scalable system that enhances collaboration, transparency and overall project management efficiencies that our entire team is successfully using every day.

    Since delivering our PMO we took the decision to retain ap-c via their support service which has enabled us to grow our innovation reach in ways we did not feel would be possible, especially in such a quick and affordable timeframe.

    Andrew really cares about the companies he works with and he really listens.

    I highly recommend Andrew to anyone looking for a top-tier systems architect with a proven track record of success and would suggest taking the time to understand the art of the possible from someone you can trust to actually deliver.

  • Having worked with Andrew for over 13 years, I have had the privilege of experiencing his focus and professionalism at first hand. Andrew is a consummate problem solver, who sees puzzles as a challenge and invariably finds innovative and refreshing ways around obstacles. Andrew has an uncanny ability to view a situation, deconstruct it to its core components and identify and target the cause. Often, he has done this while I'm still musing the symptoms! It is always a pleasure to see him at work.

    Andrew is a natural and gifted leader. Having been on several expeditions with Andrew, I have witnessed how well he manages to maintain a clear vision, focus and direction and still find resource to be aware of the needs of those who follow. Andrew's innate coaching skills mean that, if you are in his 'team' especially, he will want to encourage you to 'fly' and will nurture your talents and abilities.

  • I've had the pleasure of working with Andrew on large scale IT projects for over a decade at Shoosmiths. From the outset of a project, Andrew considers many facets and potential issues from both a logistic and technical point of view. He has gained a great deal of experience whilst working closely with the IT department, which allows him to ask highly relevant questions and plan project progression accordingly.

    Andrew uses tech instinctively and collaboratively to provide timely updates to all members involved so that there is never any ambiguity on progress. He is always available to discuss the project and take on board concerns calmly and rationally. At the conclusion of the project, he always gives praise to others and reviews the success of the project to further improve future projects.

    I'm sad that Andrew has to part ways with myself and my colleagues, but know that he will be a great, wherever he goes next.
