Bio
Adrian Belton
As CEO of CITB I was keen to understand how best to boost employee engagement. Deborah's insights, experience, and willingness to explore innovative approaches was instrumental in designing and delivering a range of successful engagement events and opportunities for me, and the wider leadership to become more visible, and able to understand better what mattered most to our 1500 colleagues. These ranged from large conferences up and down the country to reach all teams, Q&A opportunities, and improved internal communication. I particularly appreciated Deborah's calm, confident, and professional approach, as well as her amazing ability to deliver all this with minimal external resource. Thank you Deborah!
