MMC Consulting Noel has supported our business enormously over the last year and helped to focus and position us for expansion. He has developed significant key strategic partnership opportunities both locally and internationally. He is a powerful advocate at any negotiation /business development level and has consistently delivered with a professional and charismatic style for which he is renowned.
Noel is extremely well connected across all sectors through his active involvement in professional associations and his top-level business experience and I guess there are few business and public sector leaders who do not know Noel.
We expect to continue with our business relationship with Noel for the foreseeable future into our international expansion phase and would have no hesitation in recommending his service.

Barnabas Ventures Ltd Noel Brady is one of the best connected men I have ever worked with, particularly in the vital interface area between Public and Private sectors.
Noel's grasp of service delivery models, technology and people make him the ideal guy in cutting the deal, sorting the detail and extracting the maximum return.
Often it would be appropriate to apply the old adage 'two [sectors] divided by a common language' to the business engagements of the Public and Private sectors. Noel is the man you want translating!

Noel’s ability to set out tender documents and assist in drafting motivated professional and administrative alike. We would have no hesitation in recommending him to any other firm other than our competitiors!

Teletech "Teletech is a Global player in the Customer contact management field and we have had an operation in Belfast since 2002. Following an internal reorganisation and a strategic review we decided to engage actively in the NI marketplace. Our two main issues were market intelligence and profile. We sought advice locally from senior people and we were advised to contact Noel Brady at ConsultNb1. Noel has been working with us now for a number of months and together we have made excellent progress in a very short space of time. We have raised our knowledge of the market and our profile to such an extent that we are now confidently bidding for a number of high value public sector contracts. Noel has extended his role with us to utilise his expertise and experience in the procurement process in the public sector and this has been invaluable to our growth plans for the future" Cormac Twomey, Country Manager http://www.teletech.com
