Testimonials

Consultancy support provided by the BVSC Research Directorate

“Sophie has provided consultancy support to SIFA Fireside to help us create a values led culture and develop our strategic approach. Sophie spent time getting to know the people that make up SIFA Fireside and her personable approach was particularly noted by staff as we developed our values and strategy. By placing our people at the centre, Sophie was able to help us develop a set of values and strategy that they have felt invested in and committed to delivering. Sophie is professional, responsive and perceptive and her approach is engaging and inclusive. We’ve found the support provided by Sophie invaluable and it has helped to move the organisation forward much more quickly than if we had attempted to go through this process without her help!”
