Testimonials

What clients say about working with Sophie

Sophie and I worked together for 5 years; during that time she totally transformed the way we cared for and managed our greatest asset (our people), challenging taboos and implementing new ideas to tackle age-old challenges.

It was great working with Sophie on our people strategies, particularly as her passion and commitment to the topic was so high. The other key strength Sophie has is recognising the need to tie our people plan to the commercial success of the business.

Paul Brown
NED Board Advisory / Chair

I first met Sophie in 2011, and it’s been a genuine pleasure to work with her in various guises over the years. Her positive energy and warm communication style make every interaction a joy.

Sophie brings a superb breadth of HR experience and operates confidently at a senior strategic level across diverse sectors-including retail, manufacturing, and engineering. She consistently adds value by driving forward meaningful change.

Her success stems from sharp business acumen and a deep understanding of how to align organisational goals with business growth. Sophie achieves this through culture architecture and a human-centred leadership approach that makes people feel valued, connected, and confident-so they embrace change rather than resist it. She has the gravitas and credibility to influence at all levels, gaining traction for new ways of working that truly make a difference.

If you’re looking for a dynamic culture catalyst who can create and embed positive change in how people work-and how much they enjoy working-Sophie is your go-to.

I have had the pleasure of working with Sophie at two different employers, and she is one of the most inspiring leaders I have ever worked with. Sophie has a natural ability to bring clarity, calm, and direction to even the most challenging situations. She leads with empathy and authenticity, creating an environment where people feel supported, valued, and able to thrive. Sophie has been a mentor to me throughout my HR career, always encouraging me to stretch myself and helping me build confidence in my abilities.

She is a talented HR leader who genuinely cares about people and makes a real difference wherever she goes. I would highly recommend Sophie to any organisation looking for a strong, values-driven HR leader.

Sophie is an incredible HR Director, leader, and mentor. Working for her was one of the most formative experiences of my career. She has a unique ability to challenge and support in equal measure, encouraging her team to think strategically, consider multiple perspectives, and approach problems with both rigour and humanity. Sophie empowered me to grow professionally and personally.

Her guidance helped shape my approach to HR challenges, and her belief in my potential gave me the confidence to step up and take on more responsibility. Any organisation would be lucky to have Sophie leading their people strategy.

Laura Jeffery

Sophie had a powerful impact from the moment she joined the business. She brought a fresh, human approach to HR that resonated across the organisation.

She built a passionate, capable team and cascaded her vision and strategy in a way that inspired others to get behind it. Her drive and enthusiasm are infectious. Sophie has a rare ability to motivate people, bring them together, and create momentum around meaningful change.

She made a significant difference to the culture and the way we worked, and I would highly recommend her to any organisation looking for a transformative HR leader.

Chris Forshaw
Construction & Utilities Cluster Director

Sophie was my manager at Kiwa for five years, during which she played a pivotal role in my development. Through her coaching and support, I was able to grow and reach my full potential within the team. She leads with genuine empathy and a clear passion for both her people and the broader HR vision. I learned a great deal from Sophie and truly valued being part of her team. Her approach to HR is both refreshing and impactful, consistently placing people at the centre and fostering a culture that feels empowering and inclusive.

As a leader, Sophie creates an environment where individuals feel safe to be themselves. She actively promotes psychological safety and encourages everyone to contribute authentically, which makes her team both strong and highly engaged.

Elektra Page
Talent Acquisition & Development Leader

Sophie has such a clear vision of the role that HR should play in an organisation; clearer than any other HR leader that I have worked with. The HR functions that she leads are progressive, strategic, people-centric, dynamic, and flexible. She centres culture in all that she does.

I loved working with Sophie and am proud of all that we achieved together. Sophie exudes warmth but is steely, determined, and pretty unflappable! She is a superb coach and mentor and is great at turning operational challenges into strategic questions. I learnt so much from her.

Karen Morris
HR Operations Manager

I got to know Sophie when she joined the global learning community for SHV, alongside her role as Head of HR for Kiwa UK. Her enthusiasm and creativity stood out immediately. That is also how I continued to work with her when I took on the CHRO role for Kiwa. She is very open-minded, embraces new ways of working within HR, and cares strongly about an inclusive and engaged workplace. I enjoyed working with her!
