I believe strongly in the power of working collectively to achieve service and community improvements and so I use my knowledge and experience to help organisations in the UK to do this effectively. I bring:

​

• decades of experience

• expertise from working in the NHS, with Local Authorities, with charities and with grassroots community organisations - both as an employee and as a consultant

• local knowledge and contacts if you're based in the South West

• a personal approach - I am not a big consultancy firm so I can be nimble, flexible, adaptable and innovative

• a collaborative way of working in partnership with you and your stakeholders.​

​

I can take you through the whole process from start to finish or can assist with just a few elements. Every project will be tailored to your needs and you are in charge of the process.
