Testimonials
As a small Community Interest Company experiencing rapid growth, Safer Business Network engaged Andy to facilitate a Business Foundations Workshop with our Senior Management Team and a Values Discovery Workshop with our whole team. Andy Goram, our Employee Engagement Consultant, really pushed us to think about what lies at the heart of our business and why we do what we do. It has been a real pleasure working with Andy. All of our team members found the sessions enjoyable and rewarding and we now have a much clearer direction of travel as a company.
Andy is an excellent marketer, both on an on and offline level. Andy has a wealth of marketing experience and business leadership knowledge, and I would often ask him for his feedback and comments on campaigns I worked on. He is approachable, very calm under pressure and above all a great leader who would push everyone in his team to reach their goals and to become better marketers. I felt privileged to be part of his team and would have no hesitation in working with him again.
Andy is an innovative and inspirational leader. He has the ability to think through complex ideas, develop a strategic vision and translate this into a really engaging and practical plan for the team. Always a pleasure to work with.
