I can’t recommend Em enough! She’s warm, easy to talk to, and brought fresh strategic insight to my new business. Em helped me see things from angles I hadn’t considered and gave me practical, thoughtful advice that really shaped my direction. Her support and coaching were spot on - and exactly what I needed. I can’t wait to work with her again! Thank you Em for being so amazing at what you do!!
Em is professional, highly knowledgeable, and well connected within the F&B industry. Her understanding of current trends and key stakeholders helped our project move forward efficiently and with clarity. She worked in a structured, thoughtful way and delivered practical, commercially grounded solutions. With a clearly articulated brief, Em is highly effective at achieving results or guiding you to the right solution. I would confidently recommend her as a commercially astute consultant.
Emma provided time, space and structure for our leadership team to focus on developing the strategy. With competing operational pressures and a challenging transformation programme in progress, the strategy could well have been sidelined. The support given to our senior leaders both collectively and individually empowered them to move forward, focus and work together more effectively. Emma provided the safe space very much needed at the time and a sense of belief in themselves. With her empathy and bright engaging manner she helped St Giles Hospice start building a bright new future.

Em is an exceptional people and business leader, with so much to offer businesses, founders and their teams. Something that really impresses me about Em is her clear eyed ability to help others align their own values and priorities with their role or business needs, to help everyone win the right way. As a coach Em brings a great balance of nurture and challenge, skilfully avoiding telling you what you want to hear, instead telling you what you need to hear and creating a path to follow.
When working with Em at Sharp's Brewing Co she had the vision to collaborate with me on a brand ambassador programme to train and empower staff to be in front of consumers and customers at festivals and events. It was transformative to both authentic experiences for consumers and customers AND to taking internal connection, pride and culture to the next level. She was pivotal in identifying my wider potential and challenging me to take my ideas and skills beyond my role.
Em has been generous with her time as an informal mentor for me and this has allowed me to see first hand the impact she is having on inspiring business leaders.
It was so good spending time with Em - she really understands the sector I work in, as well as the personal context of being a founder with a young family and big ambitions both within our brand and beyond.
Together, we mapped out everything that’s been sitting in my head and brought structure to it on paper.
It was amazing to see how all the pieces connect and add value to one another.
As always, the key lies in timing - knowing where to focus time and energy to get the most out of each area.
Thanks Em! 🙌
Em has been instrumental in helping me grow my confidence as we have transitioned and grown as a business. She has helped us better understand our position and challenges us to constantly innovate. Her ability to provide clarity and focus has been a game-changer, enabling us to push forward with greater purpose. Her detailed knowledge, insights, and encouragement have truly made a difference, and I couldn’t recommend her expertise highly enough.
From the start, Em was great at asking the right questions to get me thinking about our company strategy and vision. Em helped me find structure in my jumbled up thoughts and ideas, allowing me to plot a clear pathway that could be brought to life and shared easily within our teams.
As well as supporting with carving out values and strategy, Em has been a great mentor and someone that I have been able to build a genuine trusted relationship with. The most reassuring thing is that Emma really ‘gets it’. She is down to earth making it easy to form a real connection from day one and openly share information, both personal and business related. I believe that Em has a genuine interest in the success of our business and it is very clear in the way that she works that she has vast experience in operations and senior leadership which I admire.
It is very clear that Em is people centered in her approach and her mission focuses on achieving the best results through people which is something I value highly. With this approach, Em has supported me in looking at our people strategy and plans for growth which in turn has given me clear direction on the roles we require within our business to support that growth moving forward.
Finally, Em has linked us in with some amazing partners from training, marketing and other like minded operators which I am extremely grateful for. These new connections have been instrumental in supporting us as we move into 2025.

I have had the opportunity to work with Emma in a variety of capacities over the years including as a candidate and a client. Throughout this time, Emma has demonstrated exceptional leadership, strategic vision, and an innate ability to drive efficiency, which was particularly evident during our recruitment partnership that resulted in the hire of around 90 staff at Everards Meadows. Emma’s expertise has a transformative impact on all aspects of operations, enhancing productivity and optimising processes. I personally recommend Emma for her dedication, innovative thinking, and commitment to achieving outstanding results – a true asset!
