Both Sale and Northampton won the Premiership title along with many domestic and European honours. Having produced 29 Under-20 rugby union internationals in just three years through the creation of new Academies, Nick is also vastly experienced in setting up programmes from scratch. Talent is identified and nurtured through tailored pathways that ensure that individuals are achieving their own potential and contributing to the team’s overall success. Dubbed “one of the best, if not the best, high-performance experts in Europe” by peers, Nick’s track record is second to none.

Nick understands the big picture and operates at such a level it encourages those around him to up their game and achieve on the highest platform. Personally, for me he has been an outstanding mentor who helped shape my career and my development as a high performance coach and mentor.

NEIL TAYLOR

Commonwealth Games medallist

What was refreshing was that this was not an 'off the shelf' product. The first engagement involved identification of issues specific to our business, and Nick really took the time to explore what was working and what was not currently working for us. It was such a tailored solution to our business and our people. The resulting interventions have given us a fresh approach to how we run our business, how we manage our team and how we do all of this efficiently.

We looked for re-focusing and regrouping with energy and a plan. Nick instantly engaged his audience by adding the 'human element'. His in-depth knowledge around high performance in elite sport and the close relationship it plays in business was thought provoking and hard hitting. It felt like a revelation; he is a fantastic coach.

DAN ELLIS

I have known Nick for a few years and it has been a pleasure to work with him as he has expanded his broad and deep experience into the corporate sector. Nick takes the time to listen and to understand the issues and dynamics of a business and uses his considerable experience to develop detailed strategies to support its development and growth. As a result, positive and enduring outcomes are achieved that deliver great benefits to the company, its shareholders, employees and customers.

JAMES FLEMMING

I have known Nick since 2008 and have worked closely with him during my career. He has this ability to really understand people and how they tick. This has helped me enormously - Nick always listened to what I felt worked best for me and helped implement positive changes to ensure I am the best I can be. He also has great intuition into what is required to make sure the team is prepared correctly.
