I worked with Kevin for some years at NEC, where I reported directly to him. I have no hesitation in providing a strong recommendation. At the time Kevin ran the UK & Ireland Mobile and Fixed Networks business. Kevin led from the front, leading the team to some major accomplishments, through some significant obstacles. We worked with a Mobile Operator to launch an extensive Network at a rapid pace, recognised as the fastest network deployment worldwide at the time. As a leader Kevin operated effectively at Board level with our client daily, while also working with the Sales and Delivery team to deliver on the ground. Across other clients Kevin established strong relationships, through credibility, integrity and delivering. Kevin has a strong combination of Strategic Vision, Ability to implement change, and to deliver. He is comfortable in an unstable environment, able to work effectively and take a direction. He has huge energy and drive, and will not stop until the outcome is achieved. Kevin retains the respect of his team, through effective delegation, providing motivation and support as needed. - Owen Kingston - Head of IT Outsourcing/Application Services Turkey, Accenture

WheelRight specialises in the passive, drive-over measurement of tyre pressure for all types of commercial and private vehicles. At WheelRight, Kevin was the Interim Head of Technology and Programmes, reporting directly to the Chairman and CEO. Kevin refocused the organisation and guided the company to successful trials of its first product. Kevin is committed to everything he does and is a good team motivator and excellent communicator. I would be delighted to work with Kevin again should the opportunity arise. Michael Taylor - Chairman, WheelRight Ltd.

Kevin Buckley and I worked together during my time as Managing Director at Siemens Mobile Networks, UK. We worked on the first 3G infrastructure to be installed in the UK. This project was extremely challenging in the areas of technology, program management and customer expectations. Through his good understanding of the technology he managed the organisation through the different phases of the project. The project was delivering state of the art products at world record speeds. Kevin managed all aspects of the chain such as technology delivery, logistics, service, partners and one of the most challenging customers in the world. It was through his leadership that both NEC and Siemens were able to deliver the first commercial 3G network in UK within budget and on time. Stakeholders came from very different cultures (Japanese, German, Chinese, English) and staff from even more and Kevin managed through excellent people skills to communicate clearly and to the point so that everybody understood what was going on and was needed to be done. Kevin is in my opinion an excellent leader with strengths in both technology and people management. If given the opportunity I would like to work with Kevin again. - Svante Stenbom - Director Carrier Services, Avanti Communications Group plc

Kevin was recruited by the Board of pureLiFi at very short notice to resolve some immediate issues following the departure of the previous CEO. Kevin worked closely with the academic founders, the Chairman, the investor directors, Scottish Enterprise and the University of Edinburgh, to quickly establish a sound basis for the company's future. Throughout 2014, Kevin worked with the team to develop a new business plan, provided mentoring and commercial leadership, clear financial management, and ultimately secured the interest of a leading corporate finance company which led to a successful investment of £1.5m. Kevin is a highly motivated and skilled individual, used to thinking outside the box. Easily able to operate at all levels in an organisation and beyond, his background in technology, coupled with his experience at the highest levels of corporate management, make him an excellent choice of leader. I would be delighted to work with Kevin again, should the opportunity arise, and have no hesitation recommending him. - Professor Russel Griggs, Chairman, pureLiFi
