I specialise in workplace assessment, training, career management and coaching. My work in organisations focuses on employee engagement, change management, leadership and team development, selection and assessment and occupational health and wellbeing.

I was involved in setting up Serco Consulting, a management consultancy, in 2003. During this time, I played a key role in developing Serco Consulting into a leading management consultancy provider, and led a number of high profile client assignments including HM Revenue & Customs, the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister, the National Physical Laboratory and the Department for Transport.I also played a key role in the internal development of Serco Consulting as it grew from a staff of 6 to over 150 by the time I left. My work included designing and leading staff training courses, staff assessment centres and sales and bid management.

I was a management consultant operating on several highly successful projects including the Youth Justice Board, The Home Office and the National Probation Service.I specialised in a variety of change and OD projects, including managing a project which improved the performance culture right across the UK’s justice system. This assignment involved multi-agency working including the Police (I worked with 35 separate Police forces), Courts, Crown Prosecution and Social Services and won the Management Consultancy Award for Best Strategy and Business Transformation project.

I researched things. And I once shook hands with Nelson Mandela.
