“For years, I could only dream of comms support that really understood what we needed, and made it happen pronto, accurately and skillfully. When Lesley came in it was transformative. She has such a wealth of know-how and experience, bringing a raft of great solutions from day one. I would recommend her as simply outstanding.”

“Your ability to grasp the essence of what was important and communicate it through multiple channels was the foundation of the change programme’s success. You are a critical part of our team and have exceeded every expectation with competence, innovation and enthusiasm. Simply, you are the most professional communications specialist I’ve worked with in 30 years in the business.”

“This change communication programme was highly effective. It has helped us to deliver clear, concise and timely communication, effective for a wide range of internal audiences, and has supported and facilitated our change programme.”

“The feedback from the conference has been tremendous. It was more than a step change in how we undertake employee communication, it was transformational…we created a buzz and positivity in the business which has been absent since RHM was acquired.”

“A fantastic session, everyone engaged, everyone involved, everyone learning.”

“Lesley is a skilled communicator, with an excellent understanding of strategic issues, coupled with a hands on approach to getting things done.”

“Allman’s expertise in employee engagement and communication helped us to identify what we wanted to measure and how to do this. Our first employee survey was undertaken professionally and the high response rate means we now know what our employees really think – good and not so good – and can begin to act on the survey findings.”

”You deserve a big formal thank you for the design and delivery of the conference. People are buzzing and the engagement, the generation of a “One Premier” feeling and the retention of the key messages of our strategic journey all point to a job well done. You were courageous enough to fight your corner when doubters, including myself, thought this [method of communication] was a bridge too far for us.”

“Having a structured approach to the cascade enabled [managers] to share the key messages with store staff. The simplicity of the design and materials has certainly helped our managers to get their teams involved and to spread the messages concisely and consistently.”

“Lesley’s detailed knowledge of the industry, her high level management skills and her obvious talents in interpersonal relationships were a major factor in delivering an excellent outcome. The most important fact of all is that it was fun to work with her!”

“Lesley exhibited an excellent balance of collaboration and firmness. [She] is very outcome oriented and in this process regularly took it on herself to work up suggestions and solutions to sticky issues. Lesley is a very positive and highly personable individual.”

“I have again been impressed by Allman’s understanding of the business and application to the task.”

“It’s great to have a safe pair of hands that really gets the business and can work closely with our leadership team to design and deliver impactful and effective communication. You’ve really helped our employees to understand the changes that are taking place and to get excited about our ambitions.”

“When we embarked on our major transformation programme we really needed a step change in the way we communicate with and engage our teams. The ‘Good to Great’ launch and roll out really delivered this. It was great to see our colleagues at the coalface embracing the ‘Good to Great’ mantra and playing our key messages back to us via their words and actions.”

“Allman provided dedicated resource and expertise to support our acquisition project team. Having specialists on hand to provide advice and assistance eased the pressure and enabled us to give communication the priority it requires and deserves in a major change situation.”

“Creative and engaging materials and communication channels were created to ensure the key messages reached everyone in the company – enabling everyone to play their part in achieving the company ambition. Lesley’s ability to understand what I was trying to achieve and work with me to make it happen, was key to bringing my team, and the entire workforce, with us on our exciting and challenging journey.”

“Incredible. Thank you so much for all of your hard work, counsel, ideas and execution – the feedback has been so, so positive.”

The result was a Pukka story which they all really bought into and could share with conviction and enthusiasm.”
