“Charles gave an excellent presentation to our clients, clearly capturing their attention and interest on how to genuinely pursue purpose beyond profit. The combination of his natural presenting style, deep experience and practical advice made for a really engaging session as well as a great Q&A panel. The feedback has been terrific.”

“We are here to celebrate the fantastic work of Charles as he steps down as CEO. Thank for you all you have done not just for the companies you have worked with during your time as CEO but also the impact that you have had on business in the UK as a whole, and on establishing a new and purposeful way of thinking about how we need to operate in the 21st century… no one in this room would underestimate the difficulty of this and the impact you have had.”
