See what some of our clients say...

"You are a really considered, articulate and approachable individual who delivered for us. Your approach is enabling and positive, very 'can-do'."
Executive in large organisation
"We have used Julian's services on a couple of occasions in complex circumstances. He was able to expertly provide working solutions which ensured improved relations and more effective operation."
HR Director at large organisation
“I found your services very easy to use, largely because you're great to work with and take a practical approach, so thank you for that.”
Managing Director at SME company
"The directors appreciated your guidance, impartiality, comprehension of the complex long-standing issues before us and for ‘seeing’ the means whereby they could be resolved."
Managing Director at SME company
"Julian has recently successfully helped us with some work which he has then followed up with developmental training to our internal management team. Not only did he assist in solving the problem but he then went on to provide ideas to stop it happening again. Julian is able to react to situations well, gain an understanding of the issues and then helped find a satisfactory resolution."
Executive in a consulting company
"I found Julian to be very perceptive - he can see what the problems are... This experience has shown me that with the right coach, this can be far better than any standard management training course! My board could also benefit from this sort of help which Julian can provide!"
Head of PMO and Resourcing in large corporate
"During a period of major workplace change at xxxx, Julian's skills focused attention on everyone's genuine needs, delivering overwhelming buy-in from all quarters. Outstanding work."
Executive in large company
"Just a quick ‘thank you’ for your time today – you really know your stuff!! It was most incisive and very inspiring and we are moving forwards with much vigour and clarity – all great in my view. Things are working like a dream and much is being done like never before. We are ‘all’ reaping the benefits of this across the business, and set for another record breaking month which would be 16 in a row!"
CEO in SME company
“You played a very important and positive part in how things turned out in the long run and I will always be grateful to you for your input at that time. You helped me to clarify what needed to be done and gave me the confidence to hang on in there.”
Managing Partner at SME firm
"Thank you very much for your time, we all believe it'll be invaluable in pushing the business and ourselves forward."
CEO at SME company
"Just to let you know following on from your chats with xxxx and xxxx they are both buzzing with enthusiasm about the direction going forwards – I am not sure what you have gone through with them, but great to hear so much positive feedback – so thank you for this as it is music to my ears to hear this kind of thing."
CEO at SME company
“To say that the company blossomed [after your help] would be an understatement. We increased our sales and profits by 40% in the first year alone, and went on to grow the business in excess of 70% in the following two years prior to my retirement”.

Simplified examples of our work...

Other than training work, these are examples of how we have helped optimise companies.  They show a range of what we can do… of course we do more than this, but they give a flavour.  To maintain confidentiality, we have also masked identification of the individuals and companies. 

High-tech engineering manufacturing SME company with global operations

Julian was a part-time consultant with a nominal Chief of Staff title to provide project and other high-level support for the CEO/owner on business and organisational development matters across all aspects of the company in order to help sustain its continual growth leading to its sale.  This included preparing the heir-apparent for taking over as the new CEO.  Specific work included, ISO 9001, CE and UKCA marking, governance including HR and H&S, factory and office moves, international partnership relations and other strategic matters.  The ISO 9001 Quality Management System was consistently rated by external auditors to be at ‘Grade 1’, which is the top level of achievement. 

Privately owned corporate company in the entertainment & hospitality sectors

The company operates from several locations across England and wanted to improve the way the CEO and his key directors functioned, each working at separate locations.  They were already successful and worked well together, but wanted to go to the next level.  The process took place, on and off, over a period of about a year, and began with the CEO, undertaking a 360-degree assessment of what all his key reports and chairman thought, plus undertaking several psychometric assessments to aid in the following executive coaching process.  The directors also had the assessments plus coaching, some opting to involve their senior teams below them, including management training.

Operational delivery team within an NHS foundation trust hospital

Julian was called in to help resolve the broken down relationships within a team of twelve supervisors/managers causing real dysfunction among them and filtering down to their staff – nothing was quite ‘provable’ enough for official action to be taken.  Over a period of several months, on and off, the toxic culture was shifted through informal interviews, whole-team facilitated meetings, personality preference work, staggered mediations and individual coaching to draw all this together.  Senior managers were also coached over continuing to manage the transition to a more healthy working culture.
