WHAT PEOPLE SAY...
“Super solutions-focused, philippa is who you turn to if you want something to happen. she's also great company, warm and empathetic.”
Karen Houghton, Founder, Heck Consulting Ltd
Rachel Woodward,
CEO, Rachel Woodward Ltd
Since I started to work with Philippa, my business has nearly doubled in turnover. Not that it is always about the money for me, it’s also about the quality of work that I do, the benefit to my clients and how I feel about it too. Philippa has helped, not only to grow my business but also to grow myself; even though I have been working in the field of coaching for over 20 years, there have been contracts I may have chosen not to take if I hadn’t had the support, brains, guidance and sometimes firm nudging from Philippa, to do so.
Michelle Partington
Founder of training company
On first meeting Philippa I was assured she would get me on track. Within an hour or so we had a plan in place, she was very clear and transparent in requirements and cost but also showed compassion towards what I was trying to build. She has completely squared me away with everything I need and went above and beyond in my opinion to ensure I was up and running in a speedy manner. I fully recommend her and I am sure we will be doing more work together.
Oliver Shimell, Director of District Council
Philippa has assisted Eden District Council with a number of corporate, high profile projects and has provided the vital support the Council needed in developing the approach, delivery, communication and payment of millions of pounds of public money to businesses to assist them throughout the pandemic. Philippa is able to hit the ground running, is truly versatile in her approach and is someone any organisation would be incredibly lucky to have representing them. I can’t recommend Philippa highly enough.
