Richard Higham was like a trusted friend through the most difficult period on my life. Patient, empathetic, friendly, accommodating to my time needs... And actually, beyond that. He suggested times that he knew would suit me cos he himself has children, and a family, and he knows. And hes just a wonderful man. He knows his job inside out, hes calm and a solutions person, in the know and gets it done. I needed to get out of a disastrous situation, and fast, and he made it happen. Thank you Richard
