When I first met Dan I only had a vague idea of what I wanted, but with his ideas and drawings, we developed the designs which suited the materials and the location. The final result are superb and have received high acclaim from all who have seen them. I wholeheartedly recommend Dans work. — Richard Sainter

It was a real pleasure commissioning a sculpture from Dan for the sensory trail at Burnham Beeches. It's rare to find an artist working in wood who combines such strong fine art sensitivities with such strong engineering skills. There's a fluidity to his work that belies the solidity and durability of the outcomes. — Alistair Will, Outdoor Culture, http://www.outdoorculture.com

The sculptures at Broxbourne Woods have made a real difference to visitors there. A large proportion of those that visit now are families with young children. Dan's designs helped to ensure the sculptures were relevant to woodland activities past and present. It's exactly what the woods needed. The education posts, welcome signs and bench that Dan created for Heron's Way Spinney have been extremely well received by the local community. The site is a much more welcoming place now and hopefully the posts will help local people connect with the natural value of the Spinney. Dan is great to work with. Our timetable was tight and subject to change, he was flexible and accommodating to our needs throughout. — Heidi Hutton, Projects Officer, Countryside Management Service
