Testimonials
"Working with Culture Change Works has been a pleasure. The team picked up the brief swiftly and worked effectively and independently to deliver a comprehensive and informative report. The British Ceramics Biennial is a complex event with many partners and participating artists. Holly, Laura and Hannah managed this complexity with assurance and distilled a huge amount of information into the final report, which will be invaluable in informing BCB's planning and delivery in future."
— Clare Wood, Artistic Director & Chief Executive, British Ceramics Biennial

“Working with Culture Change Works was a brilliant experience from start to finish. The team are incredibly knowledgeable, with a variety of skills and specialisms across the arts, culture and community sectors that were perfect for what we needed. Their approach to our project was systematic and clear, and we were kept informed at each stage of the journey. The team were also pro-active and made informed suggestions based on their work with us, which took our partnership beyond what we had originally expected and set us up perfectly for future working. The team were skilled at absorbing, collating and synthesising huge amounts of information and getting it into an easily shareable and understandable format leaving us with resources and a toolkit we can use into the future. They went above and beyond the original brief because they are passionate about what we do, I highly recommend them.”

“Culture Change Works has supported Goldsmiths through a wide-ranging change programme, building our internal communications framework and a foundation for the launch of our new strategy. Their knowledge and experience of Higher Education means they were able to build a quick understanding of the College and hit the ground running.
Hannah and Holly listened to the needs of the senior team as well as staff on the ground. They provided additional capacity to support us at a time when we needed it most. The College has reset the way it engages with staff and can build from this as we deliver against our strategic priorities. They are proactive, take initiative and they were a pleasure to work with.”
