John is a highly expeirenced and knowledgable planner capable of consistently high quality delivery under complex and challenging conditions. He is a collaborative and supportive team player and a strong and natural leader who comes with my strongest recommendation and support.

A superb individual who impressed from the start.  He managed to turn around the poorly performing Planning Department in a very short time with minimum fuss but to maximum effect, whilst at the same time contributing to the rest of the Project Services Organisation.  John was a verty positive influence on the entire organisation.

Since joining the company John has initiated a step-change in the way our organisation thinks about and engages with planning.  He has successfully introduced a number of tools and techniques to improve the way we manage our activities and has established a dedicated and loyal team to deliver ongoing improvements and ensure the long-term sustainability of his approach.

John is an outstanding individual with proven skills in project controls, he is an expert planner and is currently leading a team developing and implementing the strategic growth plan for GDF SUEZ in the UK.  John is heavily networked inside a major Energy company and he is growing his knowledge across other business lines other than Oil and Gas Exploration and Production.  He demonstrates strong leadership and is an invaluable member of the team respected by colleagues and peers.

A highly versatile person with an innate ability to analyze, evaluate and create concepts.

John Banks is an excellent planner and planning manager with a deep and detailed knowledge of the subject and how to apply it in a variety of situations and environments.  He provided strong technical and personal leadership to his team and peer group and is highly respected by colleagues throughout this business.

John Banks is an expert in his field and leads, develops and manages complex solutions to the highest standards.  He is a supportive and collaborative team member as well as an accomplished line manager.

I have no hesitation in backing this application.  John's knowledge on the topic is vast and he is extremely enthusiastic at applying this and putting it to practice which he demonstrated time and time again.

John made a significant contribution to changing the planning procedure and process at a global level and created a detailed and relevant regional training package.

John encouraged his team to contribute to creating regional proceedure and process also.

A strong confident person who has strong leadership skills and an excellent knowledge base.
