"I have worked with Gary over the past 10+ years, with Skanska and Anglian Water’s @one alliance. Frankly, I don’t think I’ve ever found a better guide to successfully steer teams and individuals through the significant challenges of team-building, collaboration, change & uncertainty in complex environments. 

Gary has a way about him that connects to each person and yet also to the wider team, whilst still focusing them on the desired outcomes of each session or programme. He motivates and inspires our teams, I cannot recommend him highly enough.."

— Richard George, Senior Operations Director, Morgan Sindell

"I first met Gary in 2015 when he was a Senior Manager for a leading design and build company. What struck me then was his natural curiosity and creative flair; qualities that felt "slightly at odds" with the technical trappings of design and delivery. This unique combination became the catalyst for his transition into the more holistic field of organisational behaviour. Since then, I have partnered with Gary on numerous talent initiatives where he brings incisive questioning to ensure that culture development and transformational programmes are robust, with clear goals and defining performance metrics.

As a workshop facilitator, Gary brings a natural enthusiasm that is immediately contagious and maximises participant engagement. In his capacity as an executive coach, his curiosity is a tour de force. When coupled with insightful empathy and well-paced challenge, he is able to deliver outstanding outcomes for his clients. Above all, Gary is a compassionate individual who holds himself to account for delivering the best he possibly can. He is a rare guide who understands the "muddy" reality of project delivery while providing the exquisite attention needed to architect a leadership legacy."

"Bringing together a new, multi-partner team to deliver £500m of works required us to rapidly co-create systems and establish the right behaviours from the off. Gary’s style of collaboration and insightful guidance was instrumental in this; his combination of facilitation and creative visuals created a genuinely productive, welcomingly challenging environment that brought real clarity to the complexities of management and risk.

The impact of Gary’s work was profound. The team thoroughly appreciated the time together without 'over-doing' team building, and we have grown together in a remarkably short time into an effective delivery team. The outcomes were unanimously well received across the business, leaving us with a practical toolbox for day-to-day collaboration that is now being shared with others as a benchmark for success."

— Mike Dexter, Head of Delivery CWPD, Anglian Water Services

"Gary provided coaching at a time when I was seeking direction and feeling uncertain about my next steps. I knew I was ready for a new challenge, but I needed support to clarify what that could look like and to rebuild confidence in my capabilities.

Through practical tools and thoughtful guidance, Gary helped me break my goals into achievable steps. His encouragement motivated me to pursue my Chartership—something I had previously struggled with—and gave me the confidence to move past self-doubt and imposter syndrome. As a direct result, I achieved my Chartership and have since earned a series of promotions. I truly believe this progress wouldn’t have been possible without his coaching; it has been genuinely transformative."

— Alexa Sherry, Senior Programme Manager, Anglian Water

"Leadership isn’t about job titles; it is about how you show up and influence others. Gary’s approach helps leaders navigate the 'unspoken expectations' of the corporate world and lead authentically—especially when leading with 'blue or green' energy. By getting past the surface and identifying core values, he helps you find your feet and grow with a level of self-awareness that lasts for years. You leave sessions feeling clearer, more focused, and ready to tackle corporate hurdles head-on." 

—  Steve Achilleos. Strategic Workforce Planning Manager, Anglian Water

"Working with Gary has been a transformative experience. He has a unique talent for navigating through the 'noise' of a busy team to find the core potential underneath. He doesn't just provide answers; he facilitates a process where the team finds the solutions themselves.

His approach is grounded, straight-talking, and incredibly effective at turning 'messy' group dynamics into a focused, high-performing strategy. If you want to see your team move from hesitation to action, Gary is the person to call."

— Operations Director, Tier 1 Infrastructure Contractor

"From the very beginning, Gary creates a presence that feels warm, calming, and completely at ease. He has a subtle yet powerful way of guiding you to step back and explore alternative viewpoints without feeling overwhelmed. What once felt emotionally charged or confusing becomes clearer and more manageable.

Gary has an exceptional ability to help you help yourself. Rather than steering you toward a particular outcome, he asks thoughtful questions that allow your own insights to surface naturally. His approach fosters clarity and confidence in a way that feels authentic and sustainable."

— Nicola Davies, Training Director, Sigma Developments Ltd

"Stuck in their ways and not aligned as a team, we faced a 'you can't teach an old dog new tricks' mentality and a deep resentment toward change. Gary has an inbuilt ability to 'read the room and the mood music' exceptionally well. He quickly establishes trust, using visual tools to help everyone feel at ease and be more open. He is a truly 'in tune' coach who maintains an upbeat, collaborative environment even when engagement is lacking.

A lightbulb moment was when the team woke up to the fact that our approach had to change. It was a step change; they realised they either got on the train or stayed behind on the platform. Gary gave the team the support to be honest about what they could achieve and the confidence to know I had their backs. We moved from a group sticking their heels in to a high-performing alliance with the clarity and collective momentum required to deliver."

— Justin Seely, Regional Manager - Souther, Barhale Limited

"All the vital contributions gathered from our training sessions had to go somewhere or it was just a waste. Gary started his creation with a blank canvas stuck on the wall in the walkway, and watching it come to life was amazing! Drawing it in this way is so much more effective than pictures we have seen a million times over; it got people talking.

The poster has now become a standard part of @one Alliance training materials. The best part is that the words and pictures came from everyone—they can look at it and say, ‘I suggested that.’ It has encouraged them to take responsibility, and there has been a noticeable change in the way meetings are conducted across the Alliance."

— Michelle Holt Delivery Process Manager, Sweco UK / @one Alliance
