What our clients say about us
Thank you and your team for the support and guidance over the last few months as we have prepared for our well-led review. Your attention to detail and responsiveness was second to none, and I have never known such a personal and tailored service. You very quickly mobilised and had a wide range of professionals to help and support.
All staff commented on the value of the interactions that you and your team had with them, and how much better prepared they felt because of it. ANHH's coaching and nurturing style was perfect, enabling staff to focus on their preparation without feeling pressured or uncomfortable.
To summarise, ANHH were accessible, available seven days a week, and worked long hours to deliver high quality products against a tight deadline. There is no doubt that our well-led inspection was all the better for their input.
I would not hesitate using Andrew and his team again. They are exceptional.
Professor Karen Dawber, Chief Nurse and CQC Lead, Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
ANHH have been a meticulous and diligent partner, and a pleasure to work with.
Their extensive knowledge of Board operations is undeniable, and they have delivered a substantive and very helpful Board Effectiveness Review for us.
Alison Coutts, Head of Corporate Affairs and Secretary to the Board of Trustees, British Council
Professor Brendan Brown, Chief Executive, Airedale NHS Foundation Trust
ANHH Consulting has been our governance partner over an extended period. They have supported our Board development in some key areas of governance, including strategic risk and Board dynamics. They have also been instrumental in directing and designing governance for the two major provider collaboratives that we lead. Their style and approach have been effortless.
Roisin Fallon-Williams, Chief Executive, Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust
We asked ANHH to undertake a full Board Effectiveness and Governance Review, and they deployed an excellent process that triangulated inputs. The findings were challenging, frank, and unambiguous, all delivered efficiently and professionally. They engaged our whole Board very effectively and thoughtfully and listened to our perspectives, but were firm in driving home their points and experience.
Their approach was exceptionally participative, honest, clear, and fact-based - unusual in our experience. No hesitation in thoroughly recommending them.
Chris Aitken, Chair, Thames Hospice
ANHH Consulting has proven to be an invaluable resource to our Trust. The depth of knowledge provided, the vast resources available, and the experience of the team has provided us with a more informed and solid understanding of the ever-changing healthcare governance environment. They have helped our thinking, provided us with alternative perspectives, and actively coached/mentored/advised us to generate and co-create solutions.
Dan Conway, Associate Director of Corporate Governance and Company Secretary, Sandwell & West Birmingham NHS Trust
I pay tribute to ANHH for all their support to us over the last year. We would never have achieved what we have achieved without them.
They have worked really hard to ensure that the VCFSE is formally represented, and actively supported the sector to organise itself, helping deliver terms of reference and providing some really helpful training.
It is truly a sea change in how decisions and oversight of mental health services are made.
Helen Wadley, CEO of Birmingham Mind and Chair, Birmingham Mental Health Collective and Panel
ANHH were both personable and knowledgeable while still offering reflection to the individual. They developed clear insights into areas where we could strengthen as a Board, and provided timely and clear reporting in response to agreed outcomes.
Professor Brendan Brown, CEO, Airedale NHS Foundation Trust
We chose ANHH as our partner for our board governance review as they very quickly understood where we were and what we needed.
The quality of their work is exceptional, and they have been able to provide guidance, expertise and training, which gave us clarity on where we will see the greatest benefit.
I give my heartfelt to ANHH for an invaluable piece of work. Thank you for going above and beyond in delivery.
Katie Ghose, Chief Executive Officer, Kids
ANHH's insight and guidance have been invaluable. They understand clients' needs and work hard with the team to get to a solution that meets their requirements, but that is also in harmony with their culture. ANHH quickly becomes a key member of a project team, supporting and challenging where needed but, best of all, a great sounding board and steady hand with their wealth of knowledge and experience.
Lisa Abbott, Pre-Construction Director, BAM Construction Ltd.
We selected ANHH for our governance review as they had already proven to produce work of a great quality and had demonstrated significant levels of responsiveness and added benefit along the way.
Twelve months on from our governance review, we still turn to ANHH for advice. We count on them to give us timely and straightforward help and support. We love working with them, even when we had a recent six-hour risk workshop, which was a (surprisingly!) enjoyable experience. No easy task given the topic and 14 people in multiple locations.
Without hesitation we would recommend ANHH.
Liz Gratton, Chair, Winston's Wish
Your insights were not only highly engaging, but also incredibly enlightening, providing me with several valuable pointers that I will look to use.
Inspiring keynote from Andrew Heywood Hughes on leveraging technology for better decisions and outcomes.
Andrew spoke on the importance of the voluntary sector in the NHS and was both insightful and amusing.
Your presentation was a great end to the Healthcare Strategy Conference and very inspiring. Totally agree that when the public sector works together, we can achieve so much more.
