To whom it may concern
Regan Grafton
It is a pleasure to provide a reference for Regan. We have worked together for a long time and have collaborated on several successful new business presentations over the past two years
In an overall sense, Regan is always available and very approachable. He adds to those qualities with a calmness and thoughtfulness that equates to him being effective at finding solutions and getting good work done
Just as I rate Regan highly, so too do his Clients and several have come to see him as much a friend as a work colleague
Regan leaves DDB having played a large part in creating some of the country s best-loved and most effective work. During his time here he has risen to every challenge and along the way made us all look good
We will miss Regan yet every one of us wish him every success at his next Agency. He that s sort of guy
Yours sincerely
Scott Wallace
Group Business Director
