/ / FEEDBACK: “In 2007 Phil Tindall from Lucid Commercial Design was contracted by Solid Energy New Zealand Limited to assist with the creative design and fit out of a new show room for our Switch business to display heating products. We soon realised that we were very fortunate to have chosen Phil for this job, as it became evident that there was more to this project than first envisaged. Phil quickly recognised the need for overall project management, and took this role over in a very competent and professional manner. He took responsibility for what needed to be done, and only sought direction and authority from us on important matters. Phil's skills and experience were soon recognised by our Nature's Flame subsidiary who was outfitting an office and retail showroom in the same complex at the same time. Phil has a good creative eye, but also understands the customers' needs. We virtually accepted all of his recommendations in terms of his design and layout, and are very pleased with the results. His ability to project plan and ensure deadlines were met within budget was impressive. He liaised with the developers, suppliers and trades people in a calm, considered and professional manner which instilled confidence in all parties. We would certainly utilise Phil's services again if the need arose, and would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending his services to anyone. I am very happy about being contacted directly regarding Phil Tindall.”
