I've been relying on our Spartan to achieve a fair few things over the past couple of months, and I've found him an absolute pleasure to work and talk with. He is incredibly on the ball and always available when you need it - a fantastic trait for somebody to have in your team. If everyone worked as hard as the Spartans, we would have no challenges.

Our Spartans work well on their own, and also in a team, even supporting another of our team members with several of the user stories when the other team member was struggling. Due to this the stories were completed on time and the other team member has progressed in their understanding and capability.
