“Dave Bell (consultant/owner of ASKkprime) performed training and some consultancy on analytical topics. In the training he provided a very solid explanation of the fundamentals and supported this with guidance and tips and tricks. Also he answered multiple questions related to the training. He was punctual, provided training materials, and gave engaging presentations. He also provided approx. half a day on consultancy on analytical methods /method development strategies. He showed a profound knowledge in these areas, and demonstrated he is an expert/key opinion leader. I would strongly recommend him and use him again for training or consultancy.”
