Are you in need of additional skills and expertise in your work, but hiring a new team-member or engaging a consultant is not an option?

I’ve got you covered.

Easier access to expertise and specialized skills:

High-level freelancers, much like consultants, bring a wealth of expertise, fresh perspectives, and specialized skills to the table. By working with me, you gain access to a catalogue of professional knowledge without the ongoing expense of a new hire or the lead-in times and costs associated with consulting.

My freelance arrangement offers the kind of skills and experience you’re looking for to address your business goals and meet your specific needs. With over 20 years of experience collaborating with operational project teams, senior management, and executive boards, I can easily navigate between operations, planning, and strategy.

I’m now offering these skills in this format to help more organisations make informed decisions, manage risk, optimize operations, foster effective partnerships, and continuously improve your processes.

Find flexible, timely, and cost-effective solutions:

Freelance relationships provide agile and well-defined practical activities. They allow you to quickly and directly inject powerful skills into your work at a controllable cost, precisely when you need them.

This is particularly important when your spending needs to be sharply focused on essentials.

In contrast, consulting often delves deeper into the organization, with a broader focus and a longer, more structured relationship.

While there may be times where consulting is exactly what you need, more and more clients are finding high-level freelance solutions to be the perfect fit.

Benefit from a personalized approach:

With 14 years of independent consulting experience and several more years as an in-house consultant for one of the largest organizations in Wales, I approach all my contracts and projects with a strong client-focus.

My services are customized to suit each client's unique context and requirements, aligning my skills with their specific goals and objectives. Moreover, my background in stakeholder and employee engagement enables me to connect with a client’s own customers and service users to design relevant, impactful, and high-value solutions.
