Pandemic-created Consultancy Continues To Grow And Thrive

Issue 95

Supporting organisations with their Learning, Talent and Organisational Development needs.

People Spark Solutions launched in June 2020 and gained its first loyal client within 24 hours of operating. The rest is history, a different type of consultancy was born and aimed at supporting organisations with a more personalised approach.

MD Scott Smith identified a gap for a consultancy to be more human, something that proved very useful when the business launched.

Scott said: “It was over three years ago that I decided to set up my own company,” says Scott. “Granted, at the time I thought that perhaps it wasn’t exactly the best time to take the plunge because we were in the middle of the Covid pandemic and working practices had been thrown out of the window. However, in hindsight, it worked to my advantage because most people had been forced to change how they ran their organisations”

People Spark Solutions is doing exceptionally well and has a raft of clients across the UK plus a team of people working with Scott.

“I’m fortunate in that we get a lot of repeat business which, I suppose, is the best recommendation…companies keep coming back to us for further help, support, and guidance. It’s tricky trying to think of a typical client, as this could range from large corporate organisations to organisations scaling up where they don’t have the support in-house.

We meet them and build relationships to help them with team facilitation, leadership development, coaching, psychometrics, and support for wider people-related projects.

We work with tech firms, corporate businesses, housing organisations, transport and logistics firms, local authorities, utility companies, and many more and because my colleagues and I come from a corporate background, we talk the same language as all of the businesses. We’ve worked with similar…or in some cases identical…companies and organisations, and can hit the ground running when it comes to helping them.

We’re also used working on a 1-2-1 basis with senior leaders and business owners and at times offer a sounding board for business challenges. We can help them recognise where they need help and possibly how to empower current leaders to take charge of business decisions. We show business leaders how to lead because it’s surprising how many have never been shown how to. We explain how to manage people and how to get the best from them.”

It’s very easy to assume that you know everything when you’re running a company or organisation. But be honest… do you really?

People need to develop. This is especially difficult when a firm operates on a 100 per cent working from home set-up. How do you build relationships and maintain links?

Scott and the team at People Spark Solutions offer over 50 years collective experience into helping organisations achieve their goals and objectives efficiently through their people.

And as you’ll soon be discovering in further news from People Spark Solutions, they’ll be spreading their wings beyond the UK. They already work with several international firms who have a base in this country, so…no surprise…they’re now going to be working in the home nation of those firms. Exciting times. It also shows how quickly People Spark Solutions has grown in the space of just three years.

The best idea is to speak to Scott and the team at People Spark Solutions and discover how they can help you with your people objectives.
