What people are saying
“Amy joined the business at an incredibility challenging time when the culture and financial performance of the business were at all time lows. She was able to have an immediate impact on the business providing sound structure and build up the trust in the People and Culture team across the business. She developed an internally led leadership programme that was rolled out across the business to grow our own. This was done quickly, effectively and without significant cost impact on the business which was at the time under financial pressure. Amy is a self-starter and great connector, an excellent facilitator and communicator. She will add value to your business”.
