Unlimited@Coffey Sparks Equity Vision, Ideas & Bold Impact

Coffey Group set up the Unlimited@Coffey committee to close its gender gap and bring more women into engineering. Jo North from The Big Bang Partnership ran Idea Time workshops and the first Unlimited@Coffey conference. Her lively, hands-on style kept energy high and drew clear ideas from a mixed crowd. Delegates built a shared vision for equity backed by concrete goals, allyship pledges and creative tools they could use the next day. The team now map ideas visually, run workshop-style meetings and speak up with confidence. The day also raised Coffey’s profile as an employer of choice for women engineers, strengthening recruitment and retention. Unlimited@Coffey now has momentum and a practical roadmap for lasting progress.

South East Water Co-creates 25-year Environment Plan

South East Water decided to write the first 25-year environmental plan produced by a UK water company. They invited Jo North to guide the work and lead stakeholder sessions. Jo revamped workshop materials, sharpened messages and, when lockdown hit, moved every event online. Attendance rose, more varied voices joined, and feedback became richer. She then rewrote key parts of the plan and its summary in plain language before urging the team to email a draft to all 500,000 customers. The replies gave fresh insight and clear support. South East Water now holds a concise roadmap, stronger community links and a repeatable engagement method that saves time while building trust.

Catsurveys Sharpens Strategy and Roadmap for Growth

Catsurveys asked Jo North to test its strategy and brand while respecting SME time limits. Jo began with one-to-one interviews with staff and customers, then led brisk workshops that challenged assumptions and matched services to market needs. The sessions confirmed strong brand equity, sparing Catsurveys an expensive rebrand. Instead, the team walked away with a focused growth roadmap and a clear communications plan that links each target sector to concise messages, channels and owners. Managers now use workshop tools to pick high-value tasks, make better, faster decisions and turn every contact into a brand moment. Catsurveys moves forward with sharper goals, disciplined strategy and more productive use of time.
