Bio
Julie Williams MSc. (nee Walls)
Pete is a real leader, dedicated to his team, his business and his industry. His passion for trees and landscapes came through in our conversations equal to his desire to see his team thrive individually and together. He is commercially driven whilst genuinely caring about his people, wanting the business to grow for their benefit. His enthusiasm for what he does is infectious and he is a great storyteller. Pete has been very open to his own personal and professional development, showed willingness to take feedback, continue to learn about himself and move forward. This requires vulnerability which I believe is the sign of a great leader. Pete self aware and always striving to do more, I have much admiration for him and his resilience. I have very much enjoyed our coaching journey together.
