Meet the Team
Our highly experienced and qualified consultants take pride in adding real value to organisations and individuals. In addition to our core team we can also call on the services of trusted Associates, where we need their particular specialist knowledge or sector expertise. This enables us to offer a flexible consulting model where we can act as advisor, coach, facilitator or hands-on contributor, as required.
​
Results focused and taking a holistic approach, our consultants have strong academic backgrounds coupled with broad sector knowledge and are passionate about service, quality and delivery. Many have held leadership positions themselves. From business processes and working practices to culture, values and behaviours, we can provide the skills and experience to deliver the outcomes our clients require.
The Berkshire Way
Our 3-step way of working
Our Collaborative Approach
This permeates our relationship with our clients from first contact right through to completion and evaluation, and we seek to build internal capability as an added value. Our most successful projects and programmes are those where we work closely with you, our clients, in determining your needs, designing the programme and delivering it together.
​
Where it makes sense for us to do so, we tailor our initiatives to the organisation and the individuals involved and place our client at the centre of all our activities. This has been recognised in awards won by Berkshire over the years.
We also offer a suite of high quality, high impact ‘off the shelf’ products that reflect the needs of a changing workforce, including workshops on Neurodiversity and wider D&I areas, Leading Remote Teams and supporting other critical leadership skills, driving your talent initiatives and Leading Accelerated Change.
Our Delivery Style
We want the work to be fun as well as challenging, to go beyond usual expectations, break down preconceived limitations and explore different possibilities. We seek to blend courage, honesty and humour to get to the heart of the matter, and by being both supportive and provocative, our intention is to bring out the very best in you and your people, as a trusted advisor.
Measuring the impact of what we do
We put in place effective measures to assess the value of our programmes or initiatives. This starts in the design phase by articulating the expected outcomes and understanding the full intended implications of the programme. Creative measurement helps focus the work and identify sources of additional value.

We value our client relationships and never take them for granted. We recognise the need to continue to earn the right to work with you, by demonstrating our commitment and the value we deliver. There are clear principles that underpin how we develop and maintain strong client relationships- some stretching back almost 20 years!

We help people under real pressure deliver results that make a lasting difference.
