Testimonials

"Phil Deverick was a long-standing and highly valued member of our team for 20 years. During that time, he built an outstanding reputation for his expertise in Excel and his ability to deliver spreadsheet solutions that made a real difference to the way we operated.

Phil’s work went far beyond basic spreadsheets. He developed complex, scalable models using advanced Excel functions including formulas, pivot tables, dynamic named ranges, power query, data validation, and VBA automation. Some of his most significant contributions included the creation of the official price book for a global manufacturer following their acquisition of our company, and a detailed manufacturer price comparison workbook that brought clarity and control to complex pricing decisions. These business-critical tools automated pricing structures, embedded margin controls, and ensured data consistency - all within secure, user-friendly interfaces.

Phil consistently delivered his work in a timely and efficient manner. He was highly organised, responsive, and able to prioritise effectively - even under tight deadlines or shifting business demands. His solutions were not only technically sound but also carefully thought through, ensuring they were easy to use, maintain, and scale. This reliability made him a go-to person for everything from quick-turnaround tasks to large, high-stakes projects.

Phil had a unique ability to understand commercial requirements and translate them into Excel-driven tools that added immediate value. His spreadsheets were not just technically impressive - they solved real business problems and improved efficiency across multiple areas of the business.

Although his experience with us was in the HVAC sector, Phil’s skillset is highly transferable. Any business needing advanced Excel solutions - whether for small day-to-day tasks or large, strategic projects - would benefit greatly from working with him. I unreservedly recommend Phil and DEV-XL"
