Development with purpose
merrell people exists to support change organisations, teams/groups and individuals need to make. We are focused on development and supporting growth.
Effective development requires clarity of the current state and the desired state. We work to create clarity about what these states are for you. This enables you to understand what you are giving up, what you are gaining and the steps you will take to get there..
merrell people work with passion, control and focus to help make your change successful. We will leave you feeling sure about your future.

We have expertise and strong relationships in the following sectors:

Simon Merrell, founder and director
I have been involved in change from the start of my working life. My first project involved the implementation of new technology into an operational workforce. Although the technology was clearly a critical part of the solution, what fascinated me more was the human response to change. It seemed that more of the risks and opportunities sat here.
A student of psychology, I have been working in learning and organisational development for 25 years. Much of my experience has been developing leadership, management and change capability. I made the decision to work both within and consulting for a variety of organisations across the UK and Europe. This has given me a wide range of experiences to draw on across different sectors.
I am insightful, approachable and calm and described as pragmatic, understated and inventive.
Organisations are constantly changing. This places demands on leaders of change and those impacted by change. Adapting is the only way to thrive.
