Over the last 2 years The Helix Consultancy has run leadership programmes for our Executive and Management teams. These programmes have had a very positive impact on both teams, bringing us closer together, and increasing our ability to constructively challenge each other, helping us make better decisions more quickly.

Steve Read and his team of associates have gained a thorough understanding of our business, and made us have a good look at ourselves and our strategy. Their ability to question and challenge us has been influential in our recent re-launch, and has helped us define the brighter future that we see for The Cambridge.

Stephen Mitcham, Chief Executive, Cambridge Building Society

Steve was hired by the Cambridge Building Society to help develop the Executive Leadership team through a series of workshops and individual support. Having been on many theoretical courses I was interested to see what he could bring to the table and what difference it would really make to the team and myself.

His in-depth knowledge and ability to get to the real issues of leadership have resulted in me reappraising who I am and how I work towards delivering what is important to the business and me. This has also been enhanced by Steve's obvious enthusiasm and his genuine desire to see people succeed.

At the end of the training I have grown into a more confident manager who understands what "leadership" is really about and would also count Steve as one of the most important professionals to work with me and the Society. As a team we are very driven, focused and get the best out of each other within an open and honest culture.

If you want to improve business performance through effective teams he will make a significant and positive impact. I would highly recommend giving him a call.”
