“When we first started working together, I remember your passion for preparing us for a VUCA world, you were relentlessly energetic in trying to get us to accept this new reality. As we faced the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic, I realised a large part of our ability to respond in the way we did was down to the way you helped us. I just wanted you to know how grateful we are to you and RISE.”

Andrew Graham, MBE, CEO Graham & Brown
