Welcome to the Delimport with me, James Delimport, and I know I always say I'm excited

about this big special guest, but before I introduce him a word from our sponsor, our

Delimport sponsor Thorholt has taken a vow of silence in January, and is letting his

clients talk today. The first client is the owner of a multi-award winning Scottish

IT firm, managing director Cheryl says, Thor is like Marmite, love it or hate it, he's

honest, authentic, funny, clever, and super talented, we have laughed and cried, and he is just

amazing at what he does. If you need help with strategic presentations, I never go anywhere

else, feel fortunate to always have him in my corner, I hate Marmite, but bloody love

this man. The final client feedback note is a company owner who employs Thor as a non-executive

director, to help him aggressively scale up and then exit his Yorkshire based business.

He says, Thor, you're underselling yourself, you do what you say on the tin, but better,

you've absolutely turbocharged me, properly stoked my fire. Read 80 more client recommendations

guy, I think of you as, but tell us just very briefly about yourself.
