His change work was recognised when he received Best Customer Service Strategy at the UK National Business Awards. The judges declared his strategy had created organisational transformations which demonstrated an entire cultural change around the needs of customers and could, as a result, demonstrate significant business growth, innovation and success.

His transformation work is the feature of a BBC documentary, The Crunch: Creativity, Innovation and Change and is often interviewed on national media for his views on outsourcing and customer service issues.
