There are many things to say about him, but the ones I admire most are:1. He asks a lot of very pertinent and searching questions - always with the aim of improving things2. He\'s got a wicked sense of humour - which helps when people are under pressure!3. He\'s definitely a completer-finisher, always sees things through4. He can quickly understand an organisation, the relationships they have (internally and with suppliers) and the \'politics\', and will work to create a common purpose and help people pull in the same direction5. He\'s worked with loads of different organisations in our sector, and will bring you his learning and insight from all that experience.If you ever get the chance to work with Rob, take the opportunity - you\'ll learn loads and have fun doing it.\"Liz Kentish (Deputy Chair - BIFM 2013-14).
