Clear has demonstrated strong expertise in commercial matters. I developed a deep respect and trust in their contract and commercial management advice and guidance. Clear has shown an eye for detail as well as an ability to see the bigger picture and they relish the opportunity to step outside the more normal commercial sphere in areas such as sales campaigns and strategic planning. Clear developed strong and productive relationships with both client and colleagues...strong negotiators who held the line whilst remaining calm, professional and never becoming antagonistic. Working with Clear was also great fun and I hope we have the opportunity to work together again.
