Chris

Director - Axiom Consulting

BlueGum quickly brought structure to a complex construction contract. Ricky provided advice that was practical, responsive, and focused on protecting our margin while keeping the project moving.

Adam

Ricky made commercial advice accessible and useful for our growing service business. He was responsive, straightforward, and helped us understand the financial and contractual decisions behind each job.
