Testimonials
Managing director at British Gypsum, Industrial Cadets Ambassador & CRASH Charity Trustee
“Jonathan has been working in our business for nearly 18 months, partnering with the commercial leadership team and more recently with the wider UK&I management team. He helps to support our journey from good to great through the transformation of our leadership and team culture
As part of this Jonathan has helped me personally, reinvigorating my own leadership and improving my personal effectiveness at work. As well as ensuring that whilst I am fully present for the team in work I am equally present for my family at home. The experience and innovative thinking Jonathan brings alongside the high support, high challenge is a powerful mix that has without doubt helped drive improved performance through many parts of the business”
Director of talent acquisition Amazon, Founder of Coaching for Community (Non-profit organization)
“I had the pleasure of working with Jonathan and KGS Partners when I was leading the L'Oreal European Commercial team through a transformation of culture and commercial capability
We worked with Jonathan to drive the customer first engagement strategy, to put the shopper at the heart of the commercial organisation and realign our selling approach. KGS Partners pioneered a number of unique customer Insight tools which enabled us to transition our commercial team culture and capabilities by getting to the heart of the challenge and then co-creating practical solutions, which we executed across the commercial teams
This involved creating a bespoke approach based on L'Oreal's specific organisation development needs and helping us design a sustainable commercial platform to deliver competitive edge and improve customer experience. A testimonial to Jonathan and KGS partners is that L'Oreal has successfully engaged their services for over 20 years in multiple markets around the world, demonstrating an enviable track record and flexibility to add value in multiple channels and markets
Recently Jonathan has launched his leadership forum on LinkedIn and already has a big following with high levels of group participation and knowledge sharing and I would strongly recommend getting involved as the insights are highly relevant to all leaders looking to make a difference.
I would highly recommend Jonathan and his team to support any business that is embarking on a program of cultural change as they move at pace to help improve your performance through your most important asset, your people, and have significant commercial/ FMCG experience”
Managing director UK & Ireland, Decorative Paints & UK country director at AkzoNobel
“Jonathan has worked with us for the last six months, mainly in the area of supporting us through a cultural change programme. He has an excellent grasp of how to engage large teams, building a clear and compelling narrative to embed behavioural change. We have positioned this as the transitional change from "comfort zone" to "where the magic happens" and Jonathan has been pivotal in defining and embedding the associated behaviours
Following successful implementation of this programme, KGS are now supporting us to develop category drivers and a customer collaboration centre. I would highly recommend Jonathan and his team to support any business that is embarking on a programme of cultural change as they move at pace and have significant commercial/FMCG experience”
CEO of Publicly Traded Consumer Company
“'Expert' is an often-overused word, but when done so in the context of Jonathan and his work around personal and organisational change it is entirely accurate. I found him to be an extremely enthusiastic, driven and successful change agent, who was most concerned by the organisation's desire to change in considering whether to work with them or not
He has worked with the very largest companies in the world and with small family owned enterprises, across different industries, nationally and worldwide. His approach has helped those businesses to be extremely successful which has resulted in the best recommendation of all - repeat business”
Head of HR at James and James Fulfilment
“I have seen organisation change and engagement programs come and go throughout my career, but none as powerful or as effective on every level than the future engage deliver program Jonathan and his team delivered at our organisation
Jonathan is a true visionary and inspirer with an abundance of energy, charisma and drive. He created and delivered a sensational programme that created unstoppable momentum, engaging everyone from board to shop-floor and driving success and results right across all functions and customer. From personal experience I also have benefited hugely from Jonathan’s one to one coaching, he has the ability to really make you think differently and help you to unlock any blockers you might have. It was a genuine privilege to work with Jonathan and I highly recommend him and the team”
Global chief marketing officer at Mars
“I have been working with Jonathan for 3 years on different missions at Danone. He has always been great at helping Danone teams to grow and achieve outstanding business results. He is a fantastic coach and trainer who knows how to understand, challenge and motivate teams so they can develop and deliver business excellence. I will definitively keep on working with Jonathan in the future”
Sales director at Savencia Fromage & Dairy UK Ltd
“Jonathan is an inspirational trainer and personal coach who gives and demands total commitment to achieving breakthrough results. Quite simply the best and most energetic sales trainer I have ever worked with”
“Jonathan has been the important catalyst for the Intersnack culture transformation program. His creative vision, expertise and enthusiasm have supported the hugely successful business turnaround, demonstrated through bottom line results
Jonathan and his team created the fundamental drivers behind the change programme and have inspired both the board and fellow colleagues to achieve outstanding results. Jonathan works with real energy and drive and manages to successfully transfer this to the teams and individual he has worked with at Intersnack, who he has personally inspired to achieve things they could not have imagined themselves
Working with a deep commercial and customer understanding, Jonathan is able to apply the science of his practise into the practical and real world of delivering results and getting payback for investments. Jonathan is a real pleasure to work with and I would have no hesitation in providing a business reference for anyone considering his services”
