Established by Marie Hannan-Meads, following a career in management, sales and learning and development in financial services, the organisation works with leaders from first-line supervisors and aspiring managers through to senior directors. Their offer centres on tailored skills workshops, structured management development programmes and one‑to‑one executive coaching for directors, senior managers, women leaders and emerging leaders.
