“ I met Simon via networking with a fellow professional, Chris Douel. The reference and introduction to Simon was made on the basis that Schindler UK and Ireland were looking to move to the next level, in terms of customer engagement, employee engagement and transformed business performance, by means of a "new creed and covenant." Specifically, I was seeking professional, novel ideas, advice and support about how this might be best accomplished in a traditional, complex, devolved matrix organisation. Simon, (who was working with Penna), as I was to discover, is an excellent and very experienced business professional and leader. He took very great care to properly and precisely understand our business and our time bound transformational needs. Simon then worked with us to craft and meld together an excellent and unique team of hand picked professionals from within the Penna organisation, to support us with the change process. The ultimate proof of this pudding was in its execution... the subsequent integrated change programme, called "Fit for the Future" was led and rolled out by the entire Board to all staff and to key customers. The multifaceted programme was an enormous success, well beyond even what I thought possible at the outset and, it delivered immediate results, in terms of improved employee engagement and subsequent productivity gains. It also enabled the acceptance of subsequent change. Accordingly, I have no hesitation in recommending Simon for his excellent, highly professional skills and knowledge, in particular his rare ability to quickly and energetically : * grasp and champion customer needs * resource and meld key team players * energise the teams to execute and to deliver timely outcomes * ultimately to deliver an outstanding customer service experience and end product. Having been in business for many years, I do not give out "glowing praise," except in the most exceptional of circumstances, this is one such circumstance. Well done Simon, outstanding work. Ashley Greensmith When working for Schindler Ltd. as HR Director UK & Ireland, 2006-2015.”
