I have had the privilege of working with Paul for a couple of years. During that time Paul was always a proactive, result oriented, responsible and technically sound Manager who was always ready to not only put in all his energy and time to get the job done but also to offer sound advice and guidance to his staff. He has exceptional troubleshooting and analytical skill and would be a great asset to any company.
Let me start by saying how fortunate I was to work with Paul. I have had the pleasure of working with him for over a year. During that time, Paul taught me a lot about leadership and management. Paul is a very willing; professional; committed and enthusiastic member of our team, ambitious and successful.
Paul and I worked together to deliver innovative airline payment solutions to Sabre during the emergence of the global e-commerce era. Paul has great Business Analysis ability - able to connect technical people and concepts to business in a language they understand. Paul's broad IT consulting skills would be an asset to any team.
Paul is very professional and highly motivated person and brought a wealth of experience to his role as the project manager of Fare 1,well respected by the whole team – he leads by example. His views were sought from all levels. With his knowledge of the travel industry he was always there to help people understand the relevance of their input as part of the whole structure. Paul is very willing to take others’ views and experience into account for the good of the project he manages. During our ASTA and ABTA Roadshows in Las Vegas and Kos respectively, he demonstrated his professionalism in dealing with the public. His ability to convince agents from the travel industry to sign up for Fare 1 made the trip a total success.
Paul is an excellent manager, providing clear and detailed outlines of work projects, whilst still allowing for developer input and creativity. He is always open to new ideas, and is a very effective communicator.
Paul Hughes is a very proficient Developer manager he brings great process and strong background skills to the organisation to help solidify a great development team. I definately would recommend Paul to turn any disorganised / Overstressed / overworked development team into a great team.

When our computer system was in need of a major overhaul Paul Hughes evaluated everything, gave a very thorough report that was clear and easy to understand and completed all the work. From the evaluation stage until the project was finished Paul has made a huge and difficult task manageable for our NGO and we now have a very secure and efficient system in place. We highly recommend Paul. He is easy to work with, professional and very experienced.
Made it in Cambodia redesigned our website for us and did extensive SEO work. Paul listened carefully to our needs and provided feedback and creative solutions to help our website look the best it could be. He answered messages promptly and went above and beyond his task list to ensure that the website functioned well and our staff could learn to use it easily. I would recommend Made it in Cambodia to anyone looking for a good quality, well-priced project.
