About Us

Before founding Encourage, I worked for PepsiCo, starting in their £1.5 billion, 5500 employee UK operation before moving to the European business. I started my career as a HR generalist and progressed through a series of increasingly more senior roles.

Driven by my passion for people and their development I decided to move into a learning and development role. As Learning and Development Manager for Europe, I partnered closely with leaders at board level to identify future business critical skills, designed learning interventions to develop these skills and optimise business performance.

I set up Encourage as I wanted to bring my passion, experience and insight lead solutions to a wider audience. I am proud to say that my extensive client base has grown entirely by word of mouth. At the heart of my work I believe that every individual has the capability to learn, grow and change for the better. Sometimes it just takes a little ‘encourage-ment’.
