"Alison is a goldmine of purpose, governance and ESG knowledge who is also vastly experienced in simplifying complex requirements into simple actions. With a challenging brief she easily shaped an insightful strategy and organisational change programme and engaged our leadership and the wider organisation with great influence and facilitation skills. She proved to be highly proactive and trustworthy - and fantastic value.“

Trudy Cooke – General Counsel, Avast Plc

“As a result of the board performance review process with its wide focus, we now have tighter governance of risk and enhanced relationships around the board table.  At the final meeting, I think directors felt empowered to speak openly and directly about relationships.  Some of the points made might have been tough for others to hear.  And the result of that was a greater understanding of each other and more open relationships around the board table.” 

David Tyler – Chair of the Board, PZ Cussons and former Chair of Sainsburys & The White Company

“Alison has supported me and my board in shaping our long-term vision, strategy and governance structure in both an advisory and coaching capacity.  She was invaluable in creating the right environment for my transition to Chair and the recruitment and integration of a new CEO.  She has a deep and excellent appreciation of the importance of purpose and culture in creating business success and her personal warmth and engagement with each of us as individuals has made the process both enjoyable and highly effective.”

Tom Baigrie - Chair of the Board, LifeSearch

“Alison has a fantastic understanding of the challenges of leadership in global organisations, intellectual depth concerning the complex evolving field of ESG, and immense experience of corporate culture and organisational change. She has helped us redefine our company purpose and strategy and ensure a sharp focus on the issues that are most important for the growth of the company. Her support and coaching expertise has been invaluable to me at a personal level.”

Kyle Whitehill – CEO, Avanti Communications

“Alison quickly proved value beyond our original brief with a shrewd understanding of company political and cultural issues and the internal complexity that could negatively impact the success of our ambition.  She is an effective and engaging facilitator who was able to align some very different agendas and personalities.  She clearly draws on a wealth of corporate experience, as well as strong integrity, and a great insight into how companies need to adapt to a changing economic and social context.”

Jat Brainch - Chief Commercial Officer, Inmarsat

 “Alison is a real governance and corporate culture heavyweight, able to read organisations very quickly and cut through to the most material issues. She has a depth of understanding of the challenges of aligning sustainability and commercial factors and the importance of leadership and culture that is rare in the field of Corporate Purpose and governance consulting. Alison is a highly capable and trusted advisor operating at the most senior level, and I recommend her very highly.”
