Rebecca Lowe - NBC Universal
"Its without a glimmer of hesitation that I say Dickie is the best TV director I've ever worked with. I was the presenter to his direction for over 5 years in the UK and the USA with NBC Sports, and he's hands down part of the elite. Never anything but calm, assured with perfect timing and editorial nous which in my opinion is what gives him the edge. He's a natural at what he does.
Georgie Bingham - Talksport and Premier League Productions.
"I've worked in television for nearly 20 years and worked under numerous directors at different companies and in different countries and can honestly say that I don't know a director better equipped, more diligent or better at his job than Dickie. His calm demeanour and dry humour make him hugely popular with the staff he leads - something that makes a massive difference in a high pressure environment like live television"
Andy Townsend - Premier League Productions.
"Over a 20 year period in TV, I have worked with a number of top directors all of whom have outstanding individual qualities but without question Dickie is amongst the finest, not only for his calm reassuring manner but also his ability to bring the best out of a studio by making everyone feel comfortable and secure as the red light goes on. Live TV can be unpredictable, problematic and eventful but it becomes fun if the man steering the ship knows what he's doing. Dickie has helped me enormously, particularly over the last 12 months and has made my job so much easier and most importantly so much more enjoyable"
