Recommendation Letter for Michael Williamson and Catalyst BC
To Whom it May Concern:
I am writing this letter of recommendation to express strong professional appreciation and respect for the expert consulting services in cannabis cultivation design provided by Michael Williamson and the team at Catalyst BC.
Michael and I met through a cannabis industry professionals group after he posted about his passion for helping cannabis companies both large and small accomplish their goals for growth, specifically in regards to cultivation design, buildout, and systems implementation.
Michael responded to my inquiry the next day and after a one hour introductory call immediately jumped into assisting me with the design of a 850ft2, 2-tier racked LED room we are adding to our cultivation facility in San Francisco.
Over the ensuing few weeks Michael and his team assisted me in identifying precise canopy dimensions, plant density, and irrigation calculations to clearly define capacity utilization and confirm our proposed design.
Once design was complete Michael communicated our specs to the benching manufacturer and we had a quote within 24 hours. He then connected me to a top-tier cannabis specific HVAC company to continue our design work.
I would absolutely recommend Michael and Catalyst BC to anyone looking for expert cultivation design services and plan to use them for future Gold Seal projects. Please feel free to reach out to me directly as a reference.
Sincerely,
Aaron Flynn
Co-founder & CEO, Gold Seal
