Garrett worked with me for three years, 2001-2004, when I was a Publisher at Euromoney Institutional Investor Plc. Garrett was employed to run the design and production business for my three titles: Aircraft Economics, Air Traffic Management and Batteries International. On his arrival he closely followed the brief to produce a new clean and effective business-to-business template for each magazine. He also pitched and won the contract to redesign all of my titles' associated publications: media packs, yearbooks, handbooks and directories.
Garrett reorganised the production process within my group to be more efficient and cost-effective after open discussions with the editors, the printers and myself. He was able to do this because of his technical fluency when speaking with both the editorial teams and the printers. Garrett was the person responsible for solving any issues with the printers, and worked closely with the editors to improve the design of each product, right through to an overhaul of each feature.
Garrett was also responsible for successfully changing my group's printing process, from collect-for-output to press-ready PDFs.
Garrett was excellent at working to tight deadlines within budgets, and was happy to put in the hours whenever necessary to ensure the products always reached the printers within the production process deadlines.
