We believe sales and leadership are inextricably linked

Because you get the best out of people with a mix of functional skills and leadership inspiration.

It’s 30 years since we met, as junior sales people. Sales jump-started a career that’s given us lifelong friends and personal growth beyond anything two exiled northerners could have imagined.

As our teams grew bigger and our titles more senior we realised our jobs were more about leadership than selling.

We figured out that our main motivations were providing solutions to customers and getting the best out of people.

Because, for us, business is at its heart about relationships and trust.

That’s why our mission today is helping businesses build brilliant leadership and sales teams.

We became a B Corp in 2020 and successfully re-certified with 103 points in early 2023. Being a B Corp is central to our belief that business is about people and planet as much as it’s about profit.

Just imagine the vast potential we can unlock if we build sustainable organisations that focus on doing the right things as well as doing things right.
