Client Reviews

Thanks so much for your help with this. I am hoping to send this back to you this week with any updates and hopefully with the final story from Federal. Looks great!

Denise Denise N. Gordon

Hi Edgar and Bob,I just wanted to send you a quick note that we really enjoyed working with Tom today on our Roadmap brochure. I had expressed to both of you that after several roadblocks over the past 2 weeks, we were unfortunately not getting close enough to the concept we needed for the brochure.

Bob set us up to work with Tom yesterday evening, and he worked on the brochure mid-morning to mid-afternoon today. He did an excellent job of making our concept come to life and finalizing the graphics for a brochure that we look forward to presenting to the client for review tomorrow.

Thanks also to Bob for setting that up and helping to provide suggestions and ideas for the concept.

Best,Lauren

Oh my word!!!!! That’s GREAT!!!! I’m going to forward it to Kelly to see if she wants to tweak the text any.

Edgar/Julie,

Hope all is well. I’m a Sr. Manager in the Miami office and I have had a project, which has had to be re-done 3 times. Tom Cannon was a life saver today. The client expected the project and as tough as it was to get done, he did a great job in ensuring that we met the client deadline and produced a very good piece.

I really appreciate all of his help and his dedication to ensuring Deloitte’s success with our client.

Thanks,Isa Rodriguez

Tom,

Congratulations on this well-deserved Outstanding Performance Award!

I wanted you to know that this nomination was made by Stephen O’Donnell and Jamie Kenny for the outstanding job you did on the SE Sharepoint site.

Well done!!!

Jane

Letter of Recommendation

September 15th, 2008

To Whom It May Concern:,

Please accept this as my letter of recommendation for Mr. Thomas Cannon. It is with deep regret that Tom’s position as Senior Designer of my design staff at Shepard Exposition Services had to be eliminated. This decision based purely on the economy and an effort by the company to keep their overhead down over the upcoming months.

Tom is an extremely talented individual and brought a lot to the table for Shepard Exposition Services, his work ethic, creativity and overall personable and team oriented nature will be very much missed. I would not hesitate to hire him back when/if the opportunity ever presented itself. Please accept his resume and think very strongly about adding him to your team as he will be nothing but an asset to your company.

In closing, please call me if you wish to have a verbal reference as well, I would be happy to talk to you and look forward to giving you any further information you would need.

Sincerely,

Hope HennesseyNational Director of DesignShepard Exposition ServicesAtlanta, GA.Direct Line: 404-720-8656
