Reviews
Robert Caswell
Project Management • Strategic Planning • Management Consulting
After working with Michael for many years I am able to recommend him as a leader in his craft as an Appointed person and lifting supervisor. Michael is very knowledgeable with lifting operations as a whole, and knows where to find any information that he does not know off the top of his head within speedy timeframe. Michael is not afraid to get his hands dirty when required. Being a team player is an understatement.
