We have worked with Donal on two occasions. The first involved the sale of a project asset in Laos. The second the acquisition of a large-scale minerals project in Thailand. 

His insightful knowledge and experience of Asia, coupled with his flexible and relaxed approach to business negotiations, has been extremely beneficial and we would have no hesitation in recommending him to other parties.
