            <p>We use Oliver for maintaining a couple of Drupal sites for
            which we no longer have the skills ourselves. We became aware of
            Oliver through his work in the Drupal community, and about a year
            ago we approached him to help us with the deep dive aspects of
            maintaining and developing Drupal sites. He's been really helpful
            and very responsive. Much appreciated!</p>

        tagline: "Web Dev Manager / DevOps / Team Manager at Admiral Group Plc"
        text: |
            <p>I had the pleasure of working with Oliver whilst building the
            first version of our drupal based intranet. His knowledge of Drupal
            and the wider infrastructure required to run a site was really
            invaluable. At the time, we were very new to Drupal, so it gave us a
            great platform to learn from and expand our own knowledge. He's the
            only external contractor that we've kept in touch with over the
            years, which goes to show how much we valued his input.</p>
