"Thank you for the valuable contribution you made to our business. He joined the business when we were at the crossroads with decisions to be made as to the next step. You gave what you promised hands-on approach to production management plus an in-house business consultant. And as promised you performed both roles extraordinary well. As a hands-on production manager you bought efficiency improvements. As a business consultant you got a handle on past performance and future potential. You contributed a combination of skills that are very hard to find – very broad knowledge base, hands-on experience, strong work ethic and business analytics skills. We were very satisfied with your services."

"I have known Wayne Linklater since 2017.
At that time Wayne assessed and upgraded the Safety Management System for Paradise Jet Boating and has managed our safety matters, in a very professional manner, ever since. Wayne has also assisted in various other matters relating to our business over the years, and his knowledge and advice has been invaluable. He has a very extensive range of experience in maritime issues, as well as many other areas, including legal, general safety, workplace procedures and operational matters. Wayne has a great work ethic. He is always contactable and very prompt and efficient at addressing matters that he takes on. Wayne is now looking after safety management, operations assessment, crew induction & training and record keeping for other businesses in which I am involved. We are very satisfied with the service and advice that Wayne provides and would recommend him to any potential client."

"I write in confirmation to confirm we have use the services performed by Wayne Linklater. During this time Wayne has performed survey valuation reports on both pleasure craft and commercial vessels including fishing vessels. Wayne's attention to detail when both inspecting a vessel and the subsequent reports have been excellent and in fact a number of surveyors have modelled their reports on Wayne's principles. We have no hesitation in recommending Wayne to our customers."

"A strong feature of the way you operate is the courtesy you offer, it starts from the top and it's evident right through to all of the men on your workshop floor I always enjoyed my frequent visits for this very reason. Finally I would like to say a special thank you for the quality of workmanship, particularly since you took great pains to explain and show me through the projects at each stage where it might have been far easier (and less ethical) to do a lesser job and cover it up before I could take a look. Wayne, you should be proud of the business you are running there; as a customer it has left me feeling very satisfied indeed."
