Meet the Team

Chris Cheesman

Founder/Partner

Firstly and most importantly I am a super proud Dad to our amazing daughters, Elsie and Ada, and partner to Jess. Born in Portsmouth, lived and worked for nearly 9 years in Melbourne, Australia, and have recruited in most regions across the World, returning back to the UK in early 2020

In a work sense, people have been at the forefront of every job I've had since graduating. I was lucky to grow up with a family who would create opportunity to talk to new people. Looking back now, some of the ‘networking opportunities’....little did I know that's what it was when I was 16....influenced me and the career ahead of me.

I thrive when businesses open their doors and let me in and let me understand how they work. Having worked for global corporates, privately owned family business and had multi million pound sales budgets and run P&L’s myself, I understand how important people are to your business success.

Chris West

Partner, Wellbeing Consulting

I’m Chris; father to Isabelle & Lucas; husband to Amy; friend to many.  

With over 20 years of sales and marketing experience in large organisations such as Cadbury, Kraft & Birdseye I decided to follow my passion of coaching, team-development and wellbeing.

My experience of leading large teams, mentoring high talent individuals and setting stretching goals with a strategy was always based upon the understanding that individuals could achieve more than they believed they could. I love to see people achieve their goals!

Fostering a team culture built upon accountability, clarity, constructive challenging and wellbeing was the enabler to a high performing team.

As a coach, mental health first aider and Grief Recovery Specialist I promote a people centric culture where everyone is supported and inspired to achieve the best for themselves and the organisation.
