Some of our customers made the following comments about our services:
-
"Barrow & Parker has worked closely with Xoserve on a number of people development programmes this year (2020) - including our new "Your Core" leadership development journey. The team really takes the time to listen to current challenges; supports in the shaping of what a new "great" looks like; and offers a range of solution options in how best to achieve goals - clearly displaying her expertise in a collaborative way. The team is also able to respond in the moment to changing circumstances and change her approach quickly to ensure a programme lands effectively with an audience. As a result, her credibility with colleagues at Xoserve is strong - and we are already starting to see the positive impacts of their coaching and skill-based solutions on our people/customer experience. Thank-you!"

"Barrow & Parker has recently worked with my organisation to undertaken an independent review of our HR services. Their approach to this was really professional, their advice and recommendations are helping me and my team to plan our HR transformation journey. In addition Barrow & Parker has delivered HRBP training for my team, this was informative and engaging, the team feedback was great and from this we can set development plans and put learning into action. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Barrow & Parker, they have a wealth of HR knowledge and takes time to understand your business and work culture. They also have a very calm professional approach which is welcomed during times of review and change. Overall a lovely team to work with!"

"The team at Barrow & Parker was a fantastic guide in my journey from educational institutions to a corporate environment. Barrow & Parker enabled me to examine my needs and beliefs critically so that I would not only be satisfied with my work, but also with my life. The team used their skills to enable me to develop myself in a holistic way, paying attention to my needs for growth and work-life balance, while also being incredibly resourceful when I asked them for practical help on how I could improve specific skills like project management or salary negotiation. I wholeheartedly recommend their coaching expertise to those anyone who wants to grow and be challenged in the most supportive of ways!"

"I have recently taken part in the ‘Business Partner Skills’ sessions run by Barrow & Parker. It’s rare to find sessions that are so full of practical advice and condensed into ‘doable’ time slots. The team really knows their stuff, and it was delivered in an engaging and succinct way - It was great to challenge some long held ‘assumptions’ in the HR space. In addition Barrow & Parker spent time with me as an individual, the team takes a genuine interest and has a great natural coaching style. I would recommend Barrow & Parker for any project support and/or consultancy support if you want an industry expert that really gets ROI."
Andy Jones – Senior HRBP, NFU Mutual

"I had the pleasure of working with the team at Barrow & Parker to create a bespoke leadership programme for the business. As a rapid scale up, time is precious and the team’s ability to build and deliver impactful and engaging leadership programmes that meet and tick every box for an organisation is refreshing. I would highly recommend Barrow & Parker and the team for your OD/L&D needs and once you have worked with Barrow & Parker, no-one else is likely to match up! Thank you Barrow & Parker for being such a pleasure to work with! I hope we have the opportunity to work together again."

Their calming approach creates a secure environment to be truly open & honest. The team has an ability to get the best out of people whilst continuing to push you to achieve your goals and ambition."

“Barrow & Parker has been such a welcome addition to my life at this point in my career. They are very knowledgeable and experienced and really helps me understand and see things in a different light. They always gives context, and keeps very detailed notes on each session so that you can revisit where you were last time. The team is very talented at playing back to you, and has given me real clarity.”
