Client testimonials

“As a commissioning manager for one of the UK’s largest children’s charities I have had the pleasure of collaborating with Pete on a couple of key pieces of work. My work with Pete has always been ambitious. It has been concerned with supporting a broad range of stakeholders through learning which provokes thought regarding ways in which the functionality, performance and experience of systems and services can be significantly altered when we begin to deconstruct the identity of provider/recipient and instead enable people to maximise human connections to work together.

Pete appropriately applies his considerable experience and expertise with a careful, collaborative ethos to ensure that work is developed and delivered purposefully and reflectively. I have always appreciated Pete’s attention for detail and his patient focus on achieving the best outcome. I also have first hand experience of witnessing the skilled way in which Pete is genuinely inclusive and engaging to a range of participants, managing the inevitable challenges of relational based working with a priority for safety and sensitivity.”

Anna Willow, Children’s Services Manager

“Co-Production Works have been a true pleasure to work with. The expertise and skills Co-Production Works brought to our project were exceptional. Alongside this, the personal yet professional approach to the work meant that there was real integrity in the process which came about through the investment Co-Production Works made in building trusting relationships throughout the project. The result is a locally-relevant approach to co-production which we will be able to flex according to the needs of the Council in future. Would highly recommend Pete and the team!   “

“Pete worked in a national role with IMPACT, the new UK centre for implementing evidence in adult social care, making sure that lived experience and co-production were central to everything we did as a new organisation.  This involved helping us set out our values and find practical ways to make these real – and to set up structures and processes to make sure we stay true to these principles, keep learning and keep improving. Throughout this process Pete was practical but principled, efficient, inclusive, good at communicating with a wide range of different groups and individuals, and understood all the opportunities, constraints and boundaries which IMPACT was working with.”
