I've worked with Maxwell for many years as an agency machine driver, across a wide range of projects and sites. He has always gone above and beyond to keep me in work and has looked out for me both professionally and personally, especially knowing I have young children. That kind of understanding is rare. What started as a working relationship has become a genuine friendship. I couldn't recommend him highly enough.
