“Brendan is a fount of knowledge when it comes to setting up and running a social enterprise. His brilliant support, pioneering thinking and openness to share his knowledge and experience was invaluable to me and colleagues when we started Youth First. His ability to offer uber reasonable, sensible and practical insight, counsel and advice remain priceless and we wouldn’t have succeeded this far without it. Not just a consultant but an ally in doing good work.”

Mervyn Kaye, CEO Youth First Lewisham

"I worked with Brendan as Strategy Director for Knowsley Youth Mutual. Brendan coached and mentored me as I led the strategic review and relaunch of the organisation to Vibe. I am so grateful for the sessions I had with Brendan. He helped me with empathy and respect to consider my priorities and the most effective way to approach my challenges.   He was generous in sharing his own experiences, and gave me encouragement to follow my instincts on any areas where I had concerns. I really enjoyed our conversations, and always finished feeling enthused and motivated to get going."

Andrea Cooper, Strategy Development Manager, Vibe (Knowsley Youth Mutual)

"As chief executive of a social enterprise floating out from local authority control, Brendan’s experience in successfully leading a business through this journey was invaluable. As a mentor, Brendan was generous both with his time and in sharing the insights from his journey."
