Straight from the Source
Richard joined as NED during a critical phase, and I can't speak highly enough about the impact he has made on our organisation. Leveraging his expertise and experience in the education market Richard played a pivotal role, swiftly enhancing our business strategy and successfully launching our immersive digital platform to market. As a relatable leader Richard truly recognised the vision of our brand, creating an environment where every team member could thrive whilst drawing on his extensive experience. As a creative founder, Richard has alleviated the pressure of crucial business decisions allowing me to focus on the areas of the businesses I am most passionate about. His insights have been invaluable and his involvement has undoubtedly been instrumental in our organisational growth and success.

Real Direction and It's On You
As NED, Richard has been tremendous support to Jigsaw and I – supporting our go-to-market planning, sales and marketing strategies, product evolution, through to opening up his valuable network connections. Critically, Richard’s deep understanding and experience of the Education sector is helping us crystallise our positioning on where we can have the most impact in the development of children in schools, to become socially and emotionally balanced adults in the future.
I have worked with Richard over the years as a business partner, a competitor and a colleague. As a partner Richard was energetic and inciteful, happy to share knowledge to mutual benefit. As a competitor he was always fair and professional, maintaining contact and sharing knowledge. Working together at Community Brands, Richard showed energy, drive and commitment to the business whatever the challenge. I would without question recommend him and hope to work with him again.

It's okay to be human!
Imperfect CEOs are more resilient and better equipped to handle challenges. We work with Founders and CEOs to confront their mistakes and learn from them, setbacks are then less likely to derail them, and they’re more likely to bounce back from adversity.
Rather than striving for perfection, we embrace the CEOs’ flaws and use them as an opportunity for growth and development. By doing so, the organisation becomes more authentic, innovative, and able to manage challenges – these are all essential elements of long-term success.
