we are Personnel Today’s Consultancy of the Year
We are delighted to have been named Consultancy of the Year at the Personnel Today awards held on 19th November 2019. We were awarded this honour based on our work with Southern Water, where we delivered a business wide cultural transformation project.
Our CEO Sean Connolly said:
“This award comes at the end of a fantastic year for us, where we have produced some excellent work for our clients. The Southern Water project demonstrates the very essence of best practice in HR consultancy and we are proud to have been recognised by Personnel Today for our expertise in this area. At Egremont we work with our clients to achieve breakthrough transformation by bringing out the very best in their people, coaching them to design new ways of working that will improve performance, drive down costs and ultimately ensure future business success.”
Our Egremont Group team worked hand in hand with the leadership and HR teams within Southern Water to understand, design, mobilise and implement a cultural transformation to turn around the business and meet the challenges set by the regulator for the next 5 year cycle (AMP).
The new plan focused on putting customers front and centre and developing Southern Water’s people for long term success. Even when the conversations and process got hard, we worked hand in hand with the business to develop a new model and roadmap to success that goes beyond the theory, brought to life in a practical way.
Commenting on the impact of the project Rob Barnett, Managing Director, Southern Water said:
“The organisation is set up to be much more successful. Some of the historical issues have been dealt with, we’ve had good financial return with many millions of savings and efficiencies, but for me more importantly we’ve built enduring capability that will allow us to drive multiple benefits in the future.”
