Company Profile
Wilson Sherriff was founded in 2000 by Carol Sherriff and Simon Wilson offering training and facilitation services. Since then we have expanded to develop the range of facilitation services we offer, developed a research and consultation arm, and expanded our training and coaching services. In 2011 we again expanded our services to offer virtual workshops, summits, conferences, consultations, coaching and training. We have a core team of specialists and a wider group of partners and professional associates which enables us to provide you with a tailored approach to meet your needs and budget.
Our Approach
Carol Sheriff, Director
Carol says: ‘Many of our clients fear working with groups inside and outside their organisation – they often experience this as time-consuming, frustrating, lacking in focus and fraught with difficulty and conflict. So they are relieved to know that there are tried and tested ways of making such events, projects and training programmes purposeful, excellent use of time and money and a positive experience for all concerned. I am not sure they ever believe beforehand they can also be enjoyable and have lasting impact but afterwards they are amazed by the enthusiasm within their organisation to take things forward.’

Simon Wilson, Director
Simon says: ‘Our clients often have to tackle complex strategy or policy issues involving multiple stakeholders. They have to produce results to tight deadlines while making sure that everyone feels that their views are taken into account. There are also real pressures on budgets. We work with them to put together a realistic plan with clear milestones to achieve their outcomes. We are very flexible and respond quickly to whatever comes up. We aim for all the stakeholders in a project to feel that they have been listened to. We help our clients make the right decisions on complex issues.’

Anna Mapley, Operations Manager
Anna says: ‘The people we work with are usually very busy, have a wide range of responsibilities and are often facing complex issues and a high degree of uncertainty. Working to high quality standards, agreed timescales and value for money service is very important to them. I approach all our projects with a “can do” attitude, people don’t want excuses they want results. For me, one of the best pieces of feedback we get on a regular basis is that we are easy to work.’
