What our clients say

Nigel Leach has worked within Sysmex over the last 10 years delivering various management programmes and providing coaching to middle, senior and executive managers and leaders throughout the company. Nigel has worked closely with the Managing Director to assess and define the leadership style and behavioural traits of the executive leadership team in order to overcome barriers that had restricted the effectiveness of the team. Through Nigel’s subsequent coaching the execs gelled together to develop innovative strategies and communicated this across the company. Nigel is listed as an approved business coach to Sysmex and will undertake individual coaching assignments with specific managers where required.

Nigel brings great personal experience to his coaching, is very affable and can adapt his approach depending on the individual or group with which he is working, as a result of this Nigel has developed a good rapport throughout the Sysmex management team and has gained their trust. Based on observation and close involvement with the managers Nigel has provided high level overview and observations to the Managing Director to identify areas within the company requiring attention and development.

Sysmex continues to evolve and bring significant changes to how we go to market and conduct our business, without Nigel’s training and coaching we would have faced greater resistance in executing the changes required. The skills and analysis tools Nigel has brought to the company have been used in both to implement this change and to increase the competitiveness of our public tender proposals  which has seen the company increase its tender rate (of available NHS/HSE) I do not hesitate to associate this achievement to the change in attitude and competence of our personnel which has in large been made possible through Nigel’s work within Sysmex.

On behalf of Sysmex UK Ltd I am very happy to endorse Leach Consulting & Associates Ltd as a business coach and trainer.

Over the last couple of years Nigel has worked with me and my team as part of our leadership development programme at Melton Borough Council. He has a wealth of practical expertise and experience from both the public and private sector and his training and development sessions are always well structured, well-paced and well-delivered. The programme he developed for us started by understanding our organisational need and aspirations and then shaping sessions on key leadership themes like delegation, communication, and performance management, amongst other things. Nigel provides an excellent balance between facilitating a supportive learning environment, and providing constructive challenge where necessary, to get us thinking critically about whatever we are grappling with

Leach Consulting & Associates Ltd provides learning experiences that help businesses to understand what it takes to build and develop efficient, effective and cohesive teams, that will have significant impact within your organisation.

What our clients say:

Since my first great teambuilding experience with Nigel, I have chosen to work with him again and again, engaging a wide range of groups and situations. We have benefitted enormously from the impact of his sessions, whether improving team performance or helping to resolve issues.

His teambuilding sessions are both highly effective and hugely enjoyable and can improve the dynamics within both new and established teams. Nigel’s approach is characterised by authentic and compassionate leadership, informed by genuine professional expertise in his field and an incredible range of lived experience in diverse work contexts. Nigel is highly professional and attentive to his clients, customising his approach to make sure he connects with the people he’s working with and integrating his theoretical models within the specific context of the team.  He really understands management and organisational structures, he quickly attunes to workplace culture and his self-effacing humility belies his sharp acumen when it comes enhancing performance and dynamics. I’ve worked with a lot of excellent facilitators and consultants, but Nigel is definitely one of the best.
