"Manish brings a level of clarity and honesty to process challenged creative businesses. He is great at stepping back, digging into the detail and giving a strategic outsiders perspective in what needs to change and why, to improve productivity. At innocent he has been invaluable at giving us the support and tools needed for us to work better as a creative function. As our mediator he has also, supported improved communication across the business as well as with external suppliers which has led to richer creative work."

"We worked with Manish on an Operations Audit for our social media agency. Manish was awesome to work with, he was relaxed, generous with his time and made the whole process a pleasure. He spent time really getting to know our team and diving deep into our business - he was then able to distill this into a wide number of recommendations and suggestions. Highly recommend!"

"I had the pleasure of working with Manish for many years when he was at Design Bridge. He was brilliant at understanding and balancing the unique challenges and pressures of both the creatives and the client. He was pivotal in shaping how our studio evolved and handled an ever-changing creative landscape over the years. Manish is highly personable and a great collaborator, who is always fully engaged and interested in what others were doing and facing."

"I’ve known and worked with Manish as a client partner in the design industry for over 20 years. He has a calm approach to problem-solving, a professional manner and has always been a pleasure to deal with. Manish is one of these people who always does what he says he’s going to do and does so in a prompt manner. His experience and knowledge of the day to day running of a business would be a huge benefit to any SME owners looking to move their business to the next level."

"I have worked with Manish for the last 12 years or so providing him with artworkers, retouchers and production people on both a perm and freelance basis. Manish has been a pleasure to work with, he has always been very calm, thorough and professional in all my dealings with him and always ensure that he provided a comprehensive brief and considered feedback on candidates. He made recruiting for Design Bridge a straightforward and enjoyable process and with his knowledge and skillset will prove an excellent addition to any creatively focused business."

"When you’re busy working on creative it can be hard to dedicate just as much time into all the other things that go into running a successful agency. In a short period, Manish has been able to cut through the noise of day-to-day design and offer Colt a new perspective that’s added real clarity to the way we run the business today as well as the kind of business we want to be in the future. He's helped us confirm things we thought we knew, educated us about things we didn’t and always did so in a calm and thoughtful way that felt specific to our agency, rather than cookie-cutter for all. His insights are invaluable for any agency that wants to move forward in a positive and profitable way."
