Just so nice and such a good and enjoyable team to work with. They really do capture and embrace the client’s key issues and concerns and are exceptional, in the quality of support, their knowledge and expertise and the respect and high regard they are held in across the wider leisure industry.”

“The level of detail in the financial analysis was impressive. The report has been taken forward to decision-makers and is regarded as a solid piece of work upon which implementation of leisure developments may be based. Lisa and her colleagues remained flexible, approachable and highly committed to the project throughout. I would recommend Max’s services to any other council looking for delivery of similar projects.”

“The quality and level of project management provided by Lisa was first class in every aspect. Lisa ensured the project progressed efficiently whilst at the same time covered all issues. Her management and organisational skills resulted in a very successful project excercise and her excellent communication skills coupled with her knowledge provided great comfort to my members when making the final decision on this major project. To summarise I have no hesitation on recommending Lisa (Max Associates) for any related project management/consultancy that she may consider.”
