Simon Alldridge, MD

The potential that can be realised through nurturing and developing your employees is greater than any other return on investment.

“Simon Alldridge has a great ability to make people feel they have 100% of his attention. He makes them feel everything they are saying is being listened to and he helps them distil their thoughts. It’s a rare quality.”

Simon Bailey Head of Marketing for Aegon UK employee benefits business unit.

I first realised this as a line manager working in sales and marketing for large, high profile companies including Gallaher Ltd, Allied Domecq and Asda Stores Plc. I’ve managed marketing teams, major marketing campaigns, brand range development, and large retail business units. Getting people and teams to perform to their optimum levels has always been my interest and my strength.

The more I focused on my people and their needs and aspirations, the better my business unit performed. The satisfaction I gained from seeing potential blossom outshone any other rewards that came my way.

This experience made such an impression on me I was compelled to change direction. I’ve been consulting in performance management since 1997. I continue to relish the challenge this brings as every company and every individual I work with offers a unique opportunity for mutual learning and growth.
