Colin had interviewed me twice prior to me starting at Galbraith as a graduate. He was the one who gave me the call to offer me one of the graduate positions in the Perth office and for that I am truly grateful. From day one, Colin was extremely welcoming and was always willing to help out, no matter how daft I thought the question might have been. Colin would give constructive feedback on any work that I provided to him. It was his attention to detail and desire to provide the highest quality of work and service to his clients which was hugely admirable. It was clear that Colin not only took pride in his own work but also in helping others. 

Despite Colin taking his work very seriously, he always made time to have some fun along the way which often ended up with many of us laughing either with him or at him. I remember Colin asked me to help him work the online flight radar so he could track his friends and family then they were travelling from Australia to Scotland. What started as a relatively short exercise ended up being a good half an hour tracking planes from all over the world. Colin was fascinated by this and is a moment which will stick with me.

I wish all the very best to Colins family and friends during these difficult times.

To have the privilege of being trained by Colin was an absolute honour. One of the best.
