What people say about us

“Working with Five&Co. has been transformational for us as a team. They’ve helped us build real confidence and reconnect with our sense of purpose – not just individually, but collectively, at a time of significant change and uncertainty.”

Helen Davenport, Director of Nursing Clinical Governance SE Region, NHS England

“Five&Co. have been hugely impactful, not just in my own leadership journey, but in partnering with me to build and develop high performing, agile and resilient teams over time. They have offered very sound wisdom and guidance that has led to lasting change. I have worked with other development consultants, but none that I have put so much trust in and valued as much as Five&Co.”

Piyush Sharma, Chief Compliance Officer

“Partnering with Five&Co. has been a significant part of my personal development. Through coaching, development and ongoing advice they have helped me grow professionally and personally along my leadership journey to perform at an executive level. I am now a better business partner and people manager with greater insight into my strengths and development opportunities.”

David King, Associate Vice President, Ethics & Compliance

“Five&Co. are external coaches and facilitators with deep expertise in Pharma and Biotech. We selected them for their really differentiated approach to team coaching, collaboration and cooperation.”

EMD Serono

“What a joy it was to work with Five&Co. on our team’s offsite. You provided exactly what we were looking for: thoughtful pre-work, interesting interactive sessions, and a creative approach to thinking through individual and team development. I was both inspired and challenged and I know many others felt the same. Thank you for pouring into our team (and doing it on our budget). I am personally very grateful.”

Joy Dowdle, Partner, Litigation Department, Paul Hastings LLP
