Fin Engineering Group Limited We engaged Noel’s services in July 2009 after he was recommended to us by another SME. Since then he has helped us refine our sales strategy and messages, develop our tendering process, build a strategic network, and has guided us through our first full scale public sector procurement resulting in the award of a major contract. Noel has tremendous personal knowledge and experience of what is required to win work, and an extensive network of contacts enabling him to secure high level meetings with key players. His refreshingly straightforward, honest and enthusiastic approach focused on our needs and on achieving our objectives. Stephen Moore Managing Director FIN Engineering Group Limited http://www.fin-engineering.com/   The Polaris Group LLP Since first meeting with Noel Brady Nb1 in 2008 we found him to be extremely well informed in relation to all aspects of business development particularly in Northern Ireland. There is no doubt that he is extremely well connected with all the key players in both the publc and private sectors. From our experience it is clear that Noel is very highly respected. His wealth of knowledge and generosity with his time has allowed Polaris to make inroads into Northern Ireland in a very short time and build strategic relationships. His ability to open doors together with his welcoming personality has impressed Polaris to the extent that we would have no hesitation in recommending him to other clients. Noel is certainly at the top of his game and Polaris will continue to do business with him well into the future. Brian Lambe, Partner John. H. Shanahan Jr, Partner The Polaris Group LLP   ICONI Software “Although ICONI is successfully established in the public sector within GB, we wanted to enhance our profile within Northern Ireland. Nb1 was an ideal mechanism to do this and we worked closely with Noel to further define our software product and service offerings within this market. Having noticed an immediate impact, we are now entering a secondary phase of work with Noel which includes reviewing our pre-sales procedures and our approach to public sector tendering.” Liam Jordan Managing Director ICONI Software http://www.iconi.co.uk/ solutions@iconi.co.uk   Legal-Island "I like doing business with this man. Clearly he's very passionate about what he does and committed to everything he applies himself to. All his enthusiasm and skill is backed up by a lot of hard work and a first class business head" Barry Phillips, CEO, Legal-Island   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. Frank McGonagle Managing Partner MMC Consulting http://www.mmcconsulting.co.uk   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!
