John has participated with me in developing a global marketing strategy that was adopted in 2000 and it has continued to assist both me and other Senior Managers of the company concerning our sales and marketing strategy both in individual markets and globally.  I believe the value received from IMD over the last 10 years has been central to transforming Flexitallic into the only true global player in the static sealing industry.  You have given both me and the rest of the company excellent advice and with respect to a number of Senior Executives coaching towards this end.

RUSSELL GINN, Chairman & Chief Executive
