Testimonials13/01/2010 ProVision Communication Technologies Ltd I have worked with Greville since January 2008 when he joined ProVision as a Non-Executive Director. For a small company, new to consumer electronics, his insight and guidance on marketing, sales, licensing and product development have been invaluable. His contribution to our fund raising efforts also went way beyond the call of duty. Grev can always be relied on to offer frank, unbiased advice - he is usually right when it comes to weighing up options and making tough decisions!
06/05/2009 Sidonis Ltd Sidonis was selected as a FASTrack2 company - a Silicon South West programme funded by SWRDA and UKTI and delivered with the resources of SETsquared. As a mentor to SETsquared, Greville worked closely with us to help guide us through the key early growth stage of the business. His knowledge, experience, and clarity of thought were instrumental in steering us through the process of developing a clear business strategy. I would never hesitate to recommend Greville - he has intuitive business sense, he focuses on what really matters, he's enthusiastic, supportive and above all really enjoyable to work with.

His extensive knowledge and experience of the semiconductor industry and in particular his expertise in IP licensing has been invaluable. His comments and insight have delivered Xintronix a more comprehensive and robust business plan.”
18/03/2009 Xintronix Ltd I have known and worked with Greville, as mentor, since Xintronix first joined the SetSquared start-up incubator in October 2007. Greville has always been extremely helpful, bringing a depth of experience, sound analysis and always a great deal of encouragement. My co-founder and I found his contributions so helpful that, when we sought a Non-Executive Director, he was our obvious candidate - I am delighted that he has agreed to join us on the Xintronix board.
06/05/2008 Mirifice Ltd "Greville helped us to focus on future growth plans. He provided superb leadership skills to a group made up of key executives from the Company and heavyweight individuals with vast senior experience, much of it international in well-known leading technology companies. He successfully guided us through the difficult maze, helping us refine answers to “Where do we play” and “How do we Win” in order to achieve an aggressive target that I have set for the Company. His style, technique and quick understanding of the issues made a great contribution greater."
04/04/2008 STMicroelectronics "Greville had the talent to make engineers think about markets and products, not just development and devices."
14/11/2007 Null Hypothesis "Apart from being a genuinely good guy, Greville has been a massive help to Null Hypothesis over the last three years. With a wealth of experience, his advice and support have been pivotal in getting us to where we are today. He was the first person to make us really think like businessmen and, during that testing period of early stage growth, he was an inspirational figure. If we do go on to make a huge success of our business, Grev will be leading an exclusive list people who we literally couldn't have done it without."
08/08/2007 DigitalTV Labs "Varoom worked with the Digital TV Labs executive team through a series of workshops on formulating our goals, developing strategies and defining tactics. Greville really helped us with market segmentation and focusing on our core value offerings. He assisted us to develop some strong strategies with his valuable insights and well developed facilitation skills."
23/05/2007 University of Bristol "I'd just like to express my thanks for the job you've done for us this year on the B.Eng. 'HiTec Enterprise' course in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Bristol. The students have been enthusiastic about the course and I know that several of them now view enterprise as a key aspect of what they're doing as students and not just some `add-on' to their course. Your enthusiasm, experience and excellent training skills have resulted in some really top Business Plans and spin-out ideas and I hope we get the opportunity to work together for many years to come."
20/03/2007 Systems for Silicon “Systems4Silicon was looking to re-develop its web site to provide marketing support for a new product line. Greville helped establish a pragmatic approach ....... provided early-stage review feedback on the web site copy, ensuring that the right messages stood out from each page.”
