Giles Griffith – Project Manager – Tasman District Council
“Mike is a straight talker and straight shooter, he’s very familiar with the Tasman Resource Management Plan (and no doubt other Local Authority resource management plans). I would engage Mike again without hesitation, he is one of my preferred ‘go to’ resource consent professionals.”
Katie Denley - Director - frankly.co.nz
“We have worked on a number of jobs with Mike in the past. What has impressed me is ability to look at the big picture. He understands that there are planning requirements in place but can look at these requirements as guidance to help move projects along. He is always professional and delight to work with.”
Jeremy Ritchie - premierservices.co.nz
“I have worked with Mike on several projects over the past 10 years and have always found him very professional, honest and a great communicator. I’d have no hesitation in recommending his professional services to anyone looking for resource management advice. Mike’s knowledge, guidance and no-nonsense advice is second to none..”
Chris Pyemont - Director - CP Architects
“I have had the pleasure in dealing with Mike on multiple projects. He has always proven to be resourceful and proactive. His understanding of the RMA and his open minded approach to projects has been extremely valuable in maximising their potential against the parameters of the RMA.”
Karyn Simpson - Architect - Premier Service
“I am an Architectural Designer in the Nelson Tasman Region and have had the pleasure of working with Mike during his time at Tasman District Council. I found Mike extremely approachable and helpful and he soon became my ‘go to person’ for all my planning queries. He would usually be able to respond to me straight away, he would answer my questions as thoroughly and directly as possible and he went above and beyond to help in any way he could.
I would absolutely recommend him to anyone in need of resource management and planning services."
