YOUR CHANGE COMMS ISN’T WORKING? LET’S CHANGE THAT
Confused employees? Frustrated leaders? Messages that aren’t cutting through?
It’s not the lack of information that’s the problem - it’s how it’s communicated.
More comms isn’t the answer. Smart, strategic comms is.
DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
❌ Employees are tuning out because they don’t understand what’s changing - or why it matters.
❌ Leaders are saying different things, creating confusion and eroding trust.
❌ Comms feels like an afterthought, rushed, reactive, and more about ticking a box than driving engagement.
❌ Your comms team is stretched too thin, caught in firefighting mode instead of driving a strategy.
❌ Different teams are sending their own messages, creating a flood of conflicting, uncoordinated comms.
When communication is unclear, engagement doesn’t just slow down - it stalls.
The fix? A structured, strategic comms approach that ensures clarity, alignment, and engagement from day one.
HOW I’VE HELPED ORGANISATIONS LIKE YOURS
🚀 Led the communications for the launch of a £40m NHS ordering platform during COVID, helping to improve supply chain efficiency and ensure essential healthcare supplies got where they were needed most.
🏢 Developed a brand identity, strategic narrative, engagement plan, and high-profile open day for the University of Nottingham’s new £70m campus.
🔄 Led change communications for major organisational redesigns, mergers, acquisitions, and rebrands. Worked closely with businesses undergoing structural change - specialising in comms kick-off sessions, developing clear messaging, and ensuring employees understood the transition while keeping leaders aligned and engagement high.
📢 Revamped leadership communications at Severn Trent Services, making leadership more visible and messages more engaging. Introduced new channels - including Yammer, Team Talks, and leadership events - helping boost employee engagement scores by 8% and 23% across two key business units within six months of launch.
