Testimonials
Below are some testimonials from our previous clients:
“Microsoft UK retained Fit for Purpose to undertake a project with three principle elements: to drive our thinking about ESG and our broader role in society; to create stronger insight and awareness of the views of our principle stakeholder groups about our prioritisation of the various elements of ESG; and to generate specific actions for the leadership team to consider and on which it took action.
Throughout this engagement, Fit for Purpose has provided Microsoft UK with real value. Their work with us has helped us to think harder about what we do, how we prioritise our time and attention and has formed a substantial part of the way we are planning. Fit for Purpose is a consultancy led by Sophie, who has passion and insight, a deep understanding of the issues we face in society coupled with a pragmatic understanding of the role business plays.”
Hugh Milward“Fit For Purpose has provided professional and practical consulting services to Urenco, including a materiality audit and a review of our Social Impact Programme. Sophie also provides insightful mentoring to allow constructive debate on emerging sustainability trends. If you want a consultancy that’s small enough to care, well connected and also a B Corp, give Sophie at FFP a call!”
Rob Little“Fit For Purpose have truly worked as an extension of our team. We’re a one-of-a-kind holiday business, our business model and ways of working are unique. Sophie and team quickly got to grips with who we are and what we’re all about. This was core to our B Corp journey, a journey that we couldn’t have travelled alone. Sophie’s knowledge of the B Impact Assessment is nothing short of amazing; she helped us navigate the requirements and highlighted areas we could improve too, it’s resulted in a number of new processes and policies that are now embedded in our business. Both understanding our business model and the B Impact Assessment led to us unlocking a unique Impact Business Model; this helped us achieve an impressive 100.6 score, something we’d never have identified as a business new to B Corp.
It’s been a natural next step for Fit For Purpose to support us to develop our wider sustainability strategy – from engaging with our senior leadership team to set our ambitions, to helping us create new strategies and programmes across key workstreams. It has set the foundations for the future and encouraged us to be bolder in our ambitions to have a positive impact on people and planet.”
Gemma Chance“Sophie and her team are hugely knowledgeable and helped us with all aspects of our B Corp application. They were a pleasure to work with.”
Jed Coleman“Our business has now started to make significant changes in every department from the way we operate, to the product we will offer and the way in which we manufacture. Fit for Purpose have been critical in a lot of the thinking behind these changes and helped us realise what we want from the business moving forward.”
Lucy Thomson“Our Social Impact Strategy has become clearer so we now have a focus on being impact driven. We have changed our workstream approaches and paid more attention to solving local socio-economic issues in our communities. Additionally, we have engaged with the consultancy FIt for Purpose connected us with on human rights due diligence support”
Rob Little“Sophie is highly knowledgeable and quickly got up to speed with our industry and our unique set of challenges. She provided great counsel and helped us win over hearts and minds of stakeholders. I would certainly work with Fit for Purpose again.”
Sarah Atkinson“Sophie’s careful and considered guidance has been enormously helpful while working through our B-Corp application. There is so much to consider and Sophie’s brilliant steers have made a huge difference. It’s been a real collaborative process each step of the way.”
Kate Beal“Sophie and I worked together on various communications programmes at Jordans Cereals linked to environmental sustainability. Sophie is expert in corporate communications and sustainability and can provide clear strategic insight grounded in a pragmatic understanding of operational management.”
David Webster“Sophie is a consummate communications professional. She is a master in the art of understanding an organisation’s holistic needs and working out the best communication strategy to help drive growth and change where necessary. One of her specialist subjects is sustainability which added real value to 3 Monkeys’ proposition when she worked with us. Her intelligence, maturity and experience will always add significant value wherever she goes.”
Angie Moxham“Sophie Brooks has the best grasp of the roles of sustainability and natural capital in planning, growing and communicating business of anyone I know. I would therefore have no hesitation in recommending her as an insightful and original professional in the corporate, government or voluntary sectors.”
