"Pamela was exactly what we needed to put a framework and process to the project. Her expertise, and a strong, “down-to-earth” leadership style, challenged the senior team to work together as a team, step outside our comfort zones, look at ways of working we would have never considered before and all the time keeping us on track. Pamela is a highly gifted, and experienced business consultant with many strings to her bow: OD consultant, Coach, Trainer, Facilitator and frequently a shoulder to cry on when things got stressful. I am proud to say Pamela has not only become a valued business contact and source of advice but also a trusted confidant and friend...."

I am forever grateful for Pamela’s ability to see my capabilities before I could and help push me past my limits to achieve them!..."

"What makes Pamela unique is that she starts by gaining a deep understanding of and, where appropriate, challenging the company’s commercial strategy. Pamela then takes the knowledge gained to develop programmes that are created to maximise alignment and empowerment of the key individuals who will implement the strategy.
This approach means that the investment in Growzone is wholly aligned to delivering the business strategy."

"...without Pamela’s support, challenge and intervention the end result would have been hugely different to that which transpired and was fully endorsed and approved by Board of Directors and Shareholders. We are now 1 year into the strategy and revenues have increased by 42% as a direct result of the goals and initiatives that were developed within the strategic plan. Pamela’s approach is truly unique and the value Growzone brought to this project was inspirational and invaluable.

"Pamela's unique insight meant that, although tailored to my specific needs, she was able to draw down on experience gained across a range of clients to the extent that I didn’t feel like an isolated case anymore. Growzone’s ability to recognise and assist in strategic change management has helped put us back in control of the processes at the heart of delivering a better company tomorrow. I find Pamela and her team professional, confidential and keen to challenge existing perceptions. I can highly recommend Growzone in areas of change management..."

"Pamela very quickly identified what was required and started working with the senior team to help us to identify what we required, and through this process we actually identified a number of key challenges for the board which previously had gone unnoticed but were crucial to our achievement of growing a high performance team. This process was invaluable to us as it enabled us to set a plan of action in place to really maximise the key strengths of the board while allowing us to take a top down/bottom up approach to our management development programme..."

"I have worked with Growzone (Pamela Martin) for many years in my capacity as Vice President of HR at Alere. Alere was a global diagnostic company with an annual turnover of circa US$3B (and is now part of Abbott Laboratories). I was an active and influential member of the Global Executive HR leadership team.
Growzone worked closely with Alere’s Global Executive HR Team, their remit was to design and deliver a comprehensive ‘world class’ and innovative Global Change Programme focussing on the development of leadership and talent for the global organization.
Their Global Inspirational Leadership Programme, and Executive Coaching programme delivered outstanding results over the years, and in relation to ‘HR The New Order Programme’ – that changed how HR worked with the business and its reputation.
Pamela and her team were outstanding both in understanding how our organization worked as well as the design, delivery and implementation of the above. Growzone has a great knowledge of how large global organizations work both formally and informally. In addition, their ability to design programmes for a multi-national audience with differing cultures was both innovative and fit for purpose.
I would recommend Growzone to any organization and would be happy to expand on any of the points above."
