Rising Star
Jess Holmes has rapidly become a valued asset within her consultancy, bringing a wealth of skills and experience from a career in education and applying them to great effect across a wide range of projects. Thanks to her passion, energy and knowledge, she has overcome barriers and brought stakeholders together in complex and often difficult circumstances to help improve the way vulnerable children and young people are cared for and supported. She has broken new ground for the consultancy and mentored colleagues along the way to help them get to grips with subject areas at the core of the firm’s business offer.
Colleagues and clients have praised her authenticity, credibility and engaging manner and her ability to adapt, gain new skills and work effectively whether alone or as part of a team.
Jess could have stayed in education where she would no doubt have progressed to become a headteacher or director of children’s services. Instead she chose consultancy – seeing the potential it offered for her to have an even greater impact. In just over two years she’s risen from associate consultant to manager.
As Libby Caulfield, Delivery Director, explains: “She is a powerful force for good in this company and achieves more than is reasonably possible each and every week through sheer hard work and determination. She also brightens up the days of all she interacts with, a truly amazing team member and leader.”
