Quotes
Coming inside Greysteel, I was instantly approached by Nigel, TC, and Roman. - Aaron
I appreciated the growth of innovativeness, as well as the community of wonderful people we have here, which I believe distinguishes us from many other places I've seen, had, or experienced in the past. - Nigel
I've had a lot of wonderful years and a lot of bad years, especially in the beginning. There's no better motivator than being unable to pay your rent or credit card bills. - Mike
I think the one huge deliverable we're thrilled to achieve is if we can assist some of these groups to develop as our clients. - TC
