Testimonials
Hear From Our Happy Clients: Their Stories
I have had the pleasure of working closely with Nick and Sarah over the past 12 months after I was introduced to them by a fellow founder/owner working in education. Their unique style, knowledge, network, and business acumen is so impressive that I would unreservedly recommend that you also reach out to them. They are very compassionate leaders who take time to listen to you and your challenges, asking insightful questions to quantify the business need or issue, and then quickly helping you to solidify the criteria / next steps for a successful solution.
Kathryn Birch
Managing Director, FEPS
Having had the luxury of working with both Nick and Sarah for the past 2 years I cannot recommend them highly enough. Through a wealth of knowledge, expertise and understanding of the education sector they have helped support and elevate Welfare Call to becoming an established and recognised market leader. By helping us define a clear vision and strategy they have been fundamental to the company’s growth, sustainability and futureproofing. They have both shown a genuine commitment to understanding our business and helping drive us to success.

As a start-up we have been wrestling with ideas such as partnership strategy with support services, our messaging, our growth strategy- and your work gives us an insight that are invaluable especially to start-ups who are looking to have a positive impact on education.
It was a real pleasure speaking with you and for the great nuggets of information. It gives us a boost of excitement to hear your views. We will continue to improve and push new ideas- hopefully, we can make a positive difference.
