Anne Fox, Clinks CEO

“Mike and Kevin were brilliant. They worked with us to understand what we needed and brought so much skill and knowledge as well as flexibility and humour. The knowledge they hold of the sector enabled us to get so much more nuance and depth on our understanding than from consultants who were from other sectors. They built trust with our team and our stakeholders. What they gave us as an end result was not just a way to understand where we are now but how to get where we want to go.”

Michaela Richards, Head of Community Safety ESCC

"Unlike many other consultants, Mike brings palpable experience in, and content knowledge of the criminal justice and substance misuse arena which has been invaluable when we’re under pressure to deliver a considered product in a tight time-frame. What I’ve most valued though are his clear passion for social justice, his sometimes brutal honesty and his willingness to expose the areas in which our systems are failing those who need them most.”

Rachel Halford, CEO

“I enjoyed working with Mike. It was really helpful in breaking down the huge task that the Trust faces at this pivotal time. The work we did has provided me with a clear structure to move forward which with so many options. It was also reassuring that he, with all his experience, understood and appreciated the never ending reviews that we are faced with as an organisation that has grown rapidly.”
