Meet the people who will be helping your business at Evolve and Grow Coaching

BACKGROUND

I have worked for over 20 years in HR covering roles across various sectors from oil and gas, nuclear, finance to investment banking.
My last role was assisting an SME set up a Recruitment function and helped them grow their workforce from 10 to circa 200 employees strong and assisted in developing processes, policies and procedures for their HR function, before setting up my own HR Consulting practice focused on small and medium sized businesses.

WHAT I DO NOW

I specialise in helping small and medium sized business to:

• Develop and implement effective processes, policies and procedures
• Attract and source talent
• Implement succession planning strategies to retain, grow and develop in-house talent
• Facilitate workshops to determine their vision, mission and values
• Develop competency frameworks
• Coach and mentor with regards to people management
• HR Audit checks to ensure they are compliant with employment legislation
• Implement effective performance management processes

WHO I WORK WITH

Business owners who strategically want to grow their business through their people as they know their staff is the heartbeat of their business and that they are only as good as the team that is around them.

BACKGROUND

I started my career in France, working in adult language training for 9 years. I worked with some large organisations in and around Paris, including global pharmaceuticals and energy providers like EDF.
I came back to the UK in 2006 and worked for an HR Consultancy. I then spent 6 years working for Criticaleye, a leadership development network for senior directors. It was like doing a mini-MBA – learning all about business strategy from some of the UK’s leading companies.
I then moved on to work at Grant Thornton UK, firstly as a Business Growth Manager, and then as an ‘Investors in People’ Practitioner, something I still do occasionally on a freelance basis.

WHAT I DO NOW

As a business coach for Evolve and Grow, I help small trade business owners who are struggling to make as much profit as they would like, and who are tired from spending too many hours on the tools. I help to create a road map for a healthy, profitable business where the owner is in control – and working on the business, rather than in it.

WHO I WORK WITH

I specialise in working with business owners in trades such as plumbers, electricians, builders, carpenters, landscapers, roofers etc. My clients are brilliant at their trade but rarely have a business background. The most successful ones are those who are passionate about their trade and, most importantly, are open to change.
