Richard Brown, Chief Executive
Council for Industry and Higher Education:

"Peter Forbes has worked as an Associate with the Council for Industry and Higher Education (CIHE) for some nine years. He has taken responsibility for our work on how students can become more employable and both develop and appreciate the capabilities they acquire while at university. His insights and conscientiousness allied to his natural good humour have won the respect of businesses and academics alike. He has brought considerable benefits to a wide range of people and I have no hesitation in recommending him for other assignments."

 

Top qualities: Expert, Good Value, High Integrity
"Peter undertook a difficult and complex series of commissions over five years for me when I was Senior Adviser at the Higher Education Academy. He was designing, developing and maintaining a detailed analysis of Student Employability attributes across all academic disciplines based on the QAA Subject Benchmark statements. This has now been also adopted by UCAS and is now available to all applicants to UK Higher Education. He is currently updating this. Peter is always a delight to work with, and supports his colleagues and clients far beyond his remit."

 

"I have worked with Peter on a number of recruitment projects over the past 10 years. I have always found him 100% reliable, very fair to all individuals, and an acute assessor. He is a pleasure to work with because of his professionalism and commitment. I have also been involved on the fringes of some of his research work, and respect him greatly for his knowledge and understanding of peoples' needs."
