The Coaching House Ltd

What The Coaching House Ltd does

The Coaching House Ltd is a UK-based executive and leadership coaching services firm founded by Gilly Rutherford and Cath Harries. The company operates as a curator and distributor of coaching capacity, maintaining a vetted network of over 40 accredited coaches who deliver engagements directly to clients; the firm itself employs 8 core staff. Service delivery is conducted through six product modules: Executive Coaching, Systemic Team/Group Coaching, Career Coaching, Transitional Coaching, Building a Coaching Culture, and Coaching Supervision — delivered in-person or virtually, scaled from single assignments to organisation-wide programmes.

The firm's commercial model is classic professional services: bespoke matching of coach to client, managed through a single point of contact, with quote-based pricing and multi-year contract structures. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting blue chip corporates, public sector bodies (e.g., NHS, British Council), and high-profile charities (e.g., The Prince's Trust, Cancer Research UK, War Child). Notable client logos include EY, Cisco, British Airways, Shell, BT, Vodafone UK, John Lewis Partnership, ICAEW, and the Natural History Museum. The company is privately held, founder-owned, with no institutional capital, no subsidiaries, and no M&A history.

The technology layer is minimal — the business is fundamentally human-capital driven rather than software-driven. Distribution relies on direct enquiry, referrals, and a website presence; there is no app, no API, and no disclosed integrations. Geographic reach is described as global with a UK base, and the firm claims over 60 workshops delivered for a single large consultancy as a flagship scale-of-delivery data point.
