  Excellent
05 January 2007: Lewis has taken the technical lead in developing a software application to address a major business challenge we had faced. His structured approach has helped us deliver this application on budget and allowed us to realise the cost savings quickly. The application itself has been professionally designed, written and supported through beta. Lewis himself has been easy to work with, explaining limitations, principles and advising us all the way. All in all, a highly professional individual who we look forward to working with again.
