COMMUNITY & CHARITY TESTIMONIALS
“I have worked with Liam on several projects in relation to Special Olympics. He delivers projects to a very high standard and the quality of his work is top class. He is extremely well informed across many areas particularly the business and political sector. Liam has helped greatly to enhance the image and perception of Special Olympics and has assisted the organisation to grow and develop through his involvement and support.
McGarry Consulting is an excellent company to do business with and a pleasure to deal with. They are very professional and I would recommend their services to any organisation”
“Working with McGarry Consulting was easy, good communication, timelines and completion agreed at outset and maintained. The follow-up pointing out potential new funds has been welcomed.”
“We employed Liam at a time when our project was in need of a professional overhaul especially in our governance. At every stage the material and documentation was clear and without jargon. Our project would not be in such a healthy state today without the research which Liam put into the Final documentation. We are very confident that the Report will be an excellent reference for the new staff over the next 5 years.”
“Having made initial contact with Liam we were impressed with not only his knowledge and impressive client list but his professional and approachable manner. Liam was flexible and worked around our group to ensure everyone understood the reasoning behind each element of the appraisal. As a group we couldn’t be happier with the performance of McGarry Consulting and we hope to work closely with Liam and his team again in the future”
“As CEO of Special Olympics Ireland we depend so much on the support we receive from so many people. It was very difficult to select three attributes that best describes Liam’s engagement with our organisation as there are many more than three. Liam has provided us with exceptional advice on a consistent basis without any charge. Liam is always very obliging and totally committed to ensuring that we (in particular Special Olympics Ulster) achieve our targets. Liam demonstrates the highest levels of integrity and his broad base business skills are truly valued. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to any business or organisation that is focused on results, quality and professionalism.”

This funding will make a huge difference to our members in North Belfast and we are indebted to him for his assistance and guidance.”

We have a document that can provide the basis for future collaborative working, and that was no mean feat!
Liam has also provided talks and training for staff and community groups in Limavady - again, this has always been carried out in a timely, cost-effective and professional manner. I would recommend Liam to anyone in the business or community sector looking for that little bit of guidance!”
