More Than a Clash of Egos

“As our Global Head of HR, Lindsay was pivotal in aligning our people strategy with evolving business objectives, enabling us to scale internationally while maintaining both cultural integrity and regulatory compliance. She played a key role in building leadership and talent capabilities across multiple regions, including the UK, EU, Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, and provided strategic input in Panama and the USA.

Her sound judgment, discretion, and operational rigour were critical during periods of rapid growth, organisational change, and ultimately the successful majority sale of the business to Private Equity. At board level, as CEO she was my trusted advisor and brought calm authority to complex negotiations and transformation initiatives.

If you’re seeking a strategic HR / People Ops leader with global experience and the ability to operate as a true partner at executive level, I highly recommend Lindsay. ”

— Julian Longson, CEO

“As part of my role at one of the Charities I’m involved with we were recruiting for a senior role.

The draft job description and communications were a little bit dry but, in just 48 hours, Lindsay helped review and refine the offering to make it much more attractive to potential applicants.

I really appreciate her professionalism and expertise in the area and recommend her to anyone looking for the services she provides.”

— Syd Nadim, Chairman

“Having worked with Lindsay for over 10 years, she has always demonstrated expert subject knowledge within the HR discipline, together with excellent intuition achieved through her understanding of market trends, employee requirements and business strategy.

Her ability to embrace the ‘human’ factor ensures that she delivers realistic and workable HR solutions supported by good governance - not the other way round...”

— Richard Woods, Co-Founder

“Lindsay offered our business invaluable guidance on managing HR processes, specifically disciplinary procedures.

Her advice was very professional, pragmatic and clear.

I would have no hesitation recommending Lindsay to other small businesses.”

— Nick Barnett, CEO

“Lindsay was responsible for HR through a period of considerable change at the business.

She was an absolute pleasure to work with and was fundamental to the successful growth of the business in the UK and then into the US.”

— James Brown, CEO

“Lindsay was a dedicated, hard working and excellent HR professional who made a significant contribution to many aspects of our business throughout her time with the company.”

— Barry McNicholas, CEO
