I have worked with Andrew Sidebottom for 15 years and have always been delighted with the work that he has carried out on behalf of the Firms for which I have worked. So confident am I in his ability and excellent professional service I have now introduced him into 3 different Firms for whom I have worked, all of whom have been very pleased with his work and have retained his services upon my leaving. These Firms have covered information technology, manufacturing and professional services. For the majority of the time assignments have been the production of psychometric reports but more recently this has been coupled with executive coaching which has been particularly well received and has proved very effective. Andrew has an intuitive understanding of behaviour and can be relied upon to treat all candidates and situations with the confidentiality required. Andrew is a highly competent professional and assignments have always been completed within the timescales agreed - some of which have been extremely tight which has necessitated him "going the extra mile" on numerous occasions! As well as being highly competent, Andrew is also extremely personable and a pleasure to work with.

I have used Andrew’s professional services for over ten years in a number of companies in different industry sectors. This has been in the areas of psychometric support (both ability testing and personality profiling), assessment and development centres, developing company wide competency profiles, recruitment, senior management coaching and helping with both redundancy and large scale re-organisational programmes. Andrew has the rare talent of being able to very quickly ‘get inside‘ the culture of the company he is working in, whilst at the same time still being able to apply incisive and thoughtful, constructive feedback from a superb external consultant. He has a fantastic manner and is able to get hard bitten senior managers, who at first are very sceptical and cynical about the value of psychometrics, to very quickly see the value added by using psychometric tools to dramatically improve the interview process. Andrew has always been very responsive in terms of customer service and has often made special provision (e.g. turning results around over night) to ensure we get exactly what we need. I have never known him fail to hit a deadline, in fact he normally under promises and over delivers! He has worked with me at a variety of organisational levels but mainly on senior executive and board level projects. I believe Andrew has always delivered value for money. Andrew has always added substantial value in any project we have undertaken, and we have always received value from the work that Andrew has undertaken for us.

Andrew Sidebottom has successfully supported the Thompson Plastics Group in terms of our organisational development needs principally in the area of recruitment and selection but also he has worked with the senior management team as a coach and facilitator. Andrew is extremely professional in the way he conducts himself and his business displaying very high levels of integrity and conscientiousness. At an opeartional level he has never missed a deadline and he is extremely proactive in the manner that he interfaces with us in terms of new developments within the field of OD. He also is a source of much wisdom and I freely discuss details of our business with him knowing he is extremely trustworthy and I value his advice enormously. The materials and methodology deployed are first rate and ahead of the game. Andrew provides an excellent value for money service to this business and has supported us in driving ongoing improvements in terms of the businesses development.
