What people say about our work
Jo brought a different breed of strategy consulting to the team. In contrast to traditional process-led strategy, Jo is an ideas man, pulling strands together to create opportunities. Extremely good at building networks, connections and stimulating ideas and change in environments where operational fatigue often sets in.
Andy Robertson (Director, BAE Systems Applied Intelligence)
Jo is a star. At England 2018 he demonstrated an ability to rapidly adapt to a new sector. Jo is self-directed and has a broad set of digital skills. He proved time and again he can be given a strategic problem, and he will devise and implement a rounded and commercial solution, while keeping multiple stakeholders involved and happy.
David Magliano OBE (General Manager, Warner Bros)
Mich is brilliant at aligning strategies and initiatives between complementary businesses, finding opportunities that are both inspiring and commercial. The best networker I have ever had the privilege to work with, where you know the end result will mean success for all concerned.
Roy Dickens (Sony UK & Ireland Consumer Electronics)
Jeremy is an amazingly talented individual with a wealth of knowledge that creates commercially resonating solutions for clients. Articulate and an exceptional writer delivering compelling presentations and white papers. A wonderfully stimulating individual who can inspire both teams and clients alike.
