Sometimes the biggest change is in the person - finding their confidence again, stepping up as a leader, or getting through the hardest year of their working life with someone in their corner. These are some of those people.
Managing Director, 4Site Recruitment
“Karen's strategic insights and hands-on approach have been instrumental in our growth. Her expertise in financial forecasting, sales development, and team accountability provided us with the clarity and structure we needed. Without Karen's guidance, we wouldn't have achieved our £6.1 million revenue growth or successfully expanded into a new sector.”
Managing Director, KSB Recruitment
Grew the business from £1.9 million to £5.2 million in two years.
“Karen’s expertise in defining our niche sectors, improving team accountability, and enhancing financial awareness played a pivotal role in our business growth. Her market knowledge and laser-focused approach delivered tangible results.”
Business Owner, Maintech Recruitment
“Karen's support has been transformational, both personally and professionally. From rebuilding my mindset during one of the most challenging periods of my life to implementing structures, processes, and a results-driven culture, the change has been incredible. For the first time, planning for the next three years feels exciting rather than scary. Karen’s impact has been invaluable, and I can’t recommend her enough.”
Business Owner, Fair Recruitment
“Karen’s support has been a game-changer. From improving team communication with a better commission structure to helping me stay focused and confident, she’s made such a difference. Our processes are sharper, our team is aligned, and I feel more in control as a leader. I’d recommend Karen to anyone who wants to see real progress in their business.”
Business Owner, Recruitment Business
“Karen has a unique ability and takes the time to understand my business. She has excellent communication skills and I have always felt ‘heard’. Karen identifies the challenges and helps find innovative solutions. I have enjoyed my time working with Karen and would highly recommend her to others!”
Business Owner, Purple Star Design
“If you need a business coach or mentor to help guide your business, I highly recommend speaking to Karen. Whether you need a kick up the bum or a brilliant cheerleader, she’s the ideal person to have in your corner. Her no-nonsense approach to streamlining your business, knowing what’s not working, and guiding you to success has been invaluable. She’s kind, generous, and a wonderful support when I needed it most.”
Managing Director, NHB Recruitment
At a crossroads as a leader, feeling isolated and unsure of the way forward.
“She brought structure, accountability, and renewed energy into my business at a time I felt at a crossroads… I’ve grown in confidence as a leader and now have clarity on my direction, team, and strategy.”
Owner and Co-founder, Tempeo and Tempeo Pay
A long-established owner who rediscovered the power of getting back to basics.
“I 100% recommend Karen… As a business owner it can be quite lonely sometimes. It can be hard to articulate how you’re feeling, what you’re going through. But Karen can be there, and has always been there for me to speak to. She gives you the right blend of support and guidance, love and hardness, and I love her for it.”
Managing Director, 365 People
A managing director who has worked with Karen over the years.
“She’s always been supportive and reaffirmed my ability to do my job. I think we all need that from time to time… I highly recommend this course, and without a doubt, I’d say yes again.”
Founder, Consulte Ltd
A busy sole trader who has known Karen for years - and values having a network around her.
“The biggest takeaway for me was the BLUNT framework… relooking at those figures for 2026 was absolutely invaluable for me today. As I work as a sole trader, although I’m very busy, I don’t actually have people around me, and a network is really important to me. The group is so sharing and inclusive.”
Owner, Talented People
A trusted advisor to her business for a year - including bringing in Sam, now MD.
“I have worked with Karen as a trusted advisor to my business. She is a seasoned leader in recruitment and has a knack for getting to the root of issues that need attention. If you are looking for a supportive second opinion then Karen will share her knowledge and help you find solutions to your problems.”
Managing Director, Azura Events
Finding focus and belief in herself during a tough period in her business.
“She helped me cut through the noise and focus on what really mattered. She believed in me, even when I struggled to believe in myself.”
Link Recruitment
Brought Karen in to deliver sales training for his team.
“Although it started as an introduction to sales, with three of our senior people in the room she took it much further… It was practical, grounded in real recruitment experience, and gave the team a clearer, more structured approach to winning and growing business.”
Operations Director, Quest Employment
Took part in a 10-part management training programme for Quest Employment’s managers.
“Each module was thoughtfully designed to build both understanding and confidence… For me personally, the training has changed my working life by improving organisation, helping me prioritise tasks better for higher impact, and empowering the managers who report to me.”
Regional Manager, Quest Employment
Completed the 10-part management training programme over 10 months.
“I can honestly say it’s been one of the most valuable development experiences I’ve had… Every session was engaging, practical, and directly relevant to real-world challenges.”
