I have known and worked with Jacques since 2000 (when he was President of Garland and I joined him on the SLT at Enodis as MD of Merrychef). I have always found him to be the consummate professional, GM and team player/builder. His strategic viewpoint, keen analytical capabilities, insights into the customer behaviour and the ability to adapt to a changing marketplace helped many (including myself) to become better managers. Jacques is a quick read and particularly skilled in identifying growth opportunities as well as the "pain points" of an organisation. He has hired, coached and mentored some of the most effective managers and VPs in the Foodservice Industry and is quite simply, one of the most likeable business leaders I know
