Economic Development Consultants Ireland (EDCI) is the culmination of 25 years’ experience working in emerging markets.

I have worked in over 50 countries on 200+ projects in Asia, Africa, Eastern Europe, the Former Soviet Union and most recently the Caribbean.

My clients include the World Bank Group, Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the European Commission – blue chip, Triple-A rated clients. I also work with private sector clients ranging from SMEs to multinational 100,000+ employee organisations.

Core to what drives my approach to the delivery of successful projects is managing and mitigating risk from the outset – as a former colleague recently remarked “I will certainly miss the comfort of knowing that you will spot trouble from a mile off and move to prevent difficulties”.

I have a proven track record in delivering new markets, new clients, new revenue and sustainable long-term relationships across Europe, Asia, Africa and the Caribbean.

I am commercial in approach underpinned by a strong technical base and whether it’s finding you the right markets, the right clients or delivering your new project and mitigating risks – you can rely on me and my team to get it right.

I have a Bachelor of Commerce (B.Comm) from the National University of Ireland (UCC), a Master of Business Studies (MBS) from the University of Limerick and I am a Fellow of the Irish Institute of Training and Development (FIITD). I have lived in Ireland, Austria and Singapore.

I have first class communication and presentation skills – conference speaking in Ireland and abroad including a presentation to the Prime Minister of Jamaica recently.

Trevor is results-driven and commercially focused and works very hard for his clients. He has a proven ability to win new business in new markets (including in SE Asia for PM Group) while at the same time always working with the best intentions of the Client in mind.
