History

Founded in 1994, we have covered an exceptionally wide range of work, both in terms of the nature of the work and the size and type of clients we have worked for.

The scope of our work

The type of work we have done has continually evolved over the period, but those areas in which we have had considerable experience include:

* Recruitment at MD, Director and management level

* Learning and development work, ranging from 3-week executive programmes to half-day workshops.

Over 500 people have been through our various programmes.

* Attitude and opinion surveys, covering both staff and our clients' own clients

* Restructuring, involving the management of redundancies

* Internal investigations, covering grievances, disciplinary matters and whistle-blowing

* Coaching of some 25 executives, ranging from MDs to senior managers

* Ongoing HR advice and hands-on support to a dozen smaller buisnesses and charities

The range of our clients

Over the years, we have worked with some 60 organisations, ranging in size from 10 to 5,000 employees.

* Larger clients have included Emap, Timet Europe, CAP Automotive, Mettis Aerospace, PEI Media, Construction Skills, Bauer Media, Groundwork UK, the Institute of Risk Management, Debra, PolymerLatex UK and The Universisty of the Arts London (UAL), for all of which we have undertaken multiple projects.

* Smaller clients have included Relate, the Institute of Internal Audit, the Institute of Risk Management, the Institute of Family Therapy, Rotary and over a dozen SMEs.

Recent focus

We continue to evolve! Most recently, we have majored on:

- Coaching - working with nine people from CEO to Director level in the last three years

- Internal investigations - 14 in the past three years

- Residential management programmes, covering Team-building, Influencing Skills or Enhancing Personal Impact.

Our relationship with national law firms

We also work closely with a number of national law firms when their clients have a need for hands-on support to help implement the legal advice they are receiving. 10 of our clients have come to us in this way, often branching out from the initial HR focus to embrace Development and Coaching work, once they get to know and trust us.

History

What our clients say

"I have been working with Graham over the past six years, particularly as a personal business coach for myself and secondly to design and facilitate a number of residential team-building and planning workshops for me and my top team.

As a coach, over a 12-month period he helped me greatly to plan for and work through a period of significant change and uncertainty at RICS, which resulted in the creation and implementation of a new structure for the UK Sales and Marketing team. This has proved to be very successful and has already yielded major benefits for the organisation.

More recently, he worked with me to design and run team-building and planning programmes for me and my top team. This helped us not only to become much clearer on the implementation programme for our strategic plan, but also to achieve much more effective ways of working together and of leading our individual teams.

Graham is a great coach – excellent listener and really helps guide you to the best outcomes. He has extensive knowledge, keeps it very simple and focuses on what you want to achieve. I have no hesitation in recommending him for his skills, but also because he is a great person to work with."
