What They say 

This is what people say about us.  Do get in touch if you would like to speak directly with any of our clients.
From the start, Jesper was both high-energy but also highly consultative. Both challenging the existing model and way of doing things, but making pragmatic, strategic recommendations on wholesale changes. I found Jesper to be highly culturally sensitive, able to work across my senior team and win trust and recognition from marketing directors across all countries in the region. 
VP Marketing, EMEA, Fortune 500 IT Company
I count Jenny as one of the best I have worked with and she is completely dependable and always proactive. She is very smart and creative and always looking at ways to do things better and improve performance. A strong relationship manager and someone I would always be happy to recommend or work with.
International Director of Partnerships, Environmental NGO
The successful partnership we developed with Earthwatch, was very much down to Jennifer's drive and professionalism. She was continually finding new opportunities, including the filming of our experiences to inspire others. I really enjoyed working with Jennifer.
Global Environmental Manager, FTSE 100 Publisher
Jesper was fantastic – he was very personable, shared our values and took the time to fully understand our needs. The research was excellent and the structure and delivery of the workshop were first rate. The feedback from all attendees was very positive . The framework we now have is already proving its value to our organisation.   I would not hesitate to recommend him. 
Head of Development and Strategy, International Education Charity
Jenny played a key role in developing the ongoing strategy of our community garden project, bringing an inclusive approach to identifying needs and opportunities going forwards. Her friendliness and approachability combined with organisation and a keen eye for detail allowed all stakeholders to have their say in what was an efficient and enjoyable process.
Trustee, Oxford Environmental Charity and Community Hub
Jesper brings an ability to understand complex organisations and objectives and distil these down into specific projects that are the interlocking building blocks for a new dynamic business model.  His calm and knowledgeable manner draws out the best of the assembled team, which is so fundamentally important with such large transformation exercises.
