After twelve years, the business has now closed.
In 2014, I set up Chris Dunn Consulting with a simple aim: to help businesses grow, manage change, and develop the people who make them successful.
Twelve years later, that chapter has come to an end.
It has been a genuine privilege to work with so many great people over the years: business owners, CEOs, senior leaders, leadership teams, and organisations across a wide range of industries.
Thank you for your trust, your projects, your challenges, and the conversations along the way. Every client, every team, and every organisation brought something different, and I've learned a great deal from the people I've had the pleasure to work with.
Chris Dunn Consulting helped businesses and leaders navigate change, improve performance, and achieve sustainable growth.
The work brought together three complementary areas:
Helping organisations address challenges, identify opportunities, and deliver practical improvements, particularly around business development, customer experience, and change management.
Supporting leaders to think differently, gain perspective, develop their leadership capability, and increase their impact.
Providing experienced, practical support and acting as a trusted sounding board for business owners and leaders making important decisions.
The combination of consulting, coaching, and mentoring was central to the way I worked. Sometimes clients needed specialist expertise and practical solutions. Sometimes they needed a different perspective, a challenge to their thinking, or simply someone with experience to help them work through important decisions.
Often, the greatest value came from bringing these different approaches together.
Over a career spanning more than 40 years, I've worked with businesses and leaders in the UK and internationally across many different sectors.
Over the last 20 years, I've also had the privilege of coaching and mentoring individuals, business owners, and leaders, helping them navigate challenges, develop their capability, and achieve their goals.
Long-standing MBA mentor at Cambridge Judge Business School, one of the world's leading providers of executive education.
Supported SME business growth through the UK Government's Growth Accelerator and Help to Grow Programmes.
Played an active role in championing the development of professional business mentoring through the Association of Business Mentors, including acting as its East of England Chair.
The most rewarding part has always been seeing people and businesses develop, overcome challenges, and achieve things they may not have thought possible.
If you're looking for a business consultant, mentor, or coach, please take the time to choose carefully.
Look for someone who is properly insured, appropriately qualified, and has the experience needed for your situation.
If you're looking for an executive coach, I'd recommend choosing someone who is professionally qualified and accredited by a recognised coaching body such as the European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC) or the International Coaching Federation (ICF).
Professional standards, ethics, qualifications, and experience all matter.
Although Chris Dunn Consulting Services Ltd has closed, the relationships built over those twelve years remain hugely valued.
To everyone who has been part of the journey: clients, colleagues, partners, suppliers, and friends, thank you.
It has been a privilege to play a small part in so many business journeys, and I'm grateful for the trust and support I've received along the way.
