Neil Taylor
Founder and Chairman
The Formech Group
"Colin Hurren helped to reorganize and restructure an engineering firm wholly owned by our family office. The company had operations in the UK and USA and had been in some difficulties following the misadventures of the historic management team. Colin carried out a forensic examination of what had transpired in the company's recent history. He then created and executed a very successful reorganization plan. I enjoyed working with Colin and found him to be calm, competent, and effective in helping us carry out this rather complex, and at times sensitive, exercise. I would be happy to recommend his services to others."
