People And Performance Consulting Limited

What People And Performance Consulting Limited does

People and Performance Consulting Limited is a privately-held, founder-led UK consultancy established in February 2002 by Simon Spindler. The firm delivers people and organisational development (OD) professional services to senior executives, executive teams, and HR/OD leaders at enterprises ranging from start-ups and SMEs to established UK corporates and international businesses. Sector exposure spans retail banking, investment banking, hedge fund management, logistics, commercial finance, speciality engineering, and charity.

The service portfolio comprises consulting projects, executive coaching (one-to-one and team), executive and leadership development programmes, individual and team development, organisation design, organisational change management, competency-based and psychometric assessment (including assessment centres), and performance management. The firm also operates ThamesValleyExecutive, a monthly confidential peer advisory group for senior business leaders under NDA. The principal IP asset is a claimed proprietary 4-Stage Consulting Project Framework; service delivery is otherwise human-led with no disclosed technology platform, API, or software product.

The business model is professional services fee-for-engagement, with revenue generated from project-based consulting, coaching engagements, and contract/interim support. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. GTM is sales-led and direct — engaging senior executives and top teams, or working through HR/OD intermediaries — supplemented by LinkedIn/Twitter presence, Vimeo-hosted video content, and referral/word-of-mouth from long-tenured client relationships. Ownership is concentrated entirely with the founder; there is no external investment, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed headcount.
