In my role as CEO I valued their support and commitment in helping me and my team to achieve our goal”
We were also recognised as highly commended for Change Management in the Private Sector category with NSG. Rob Purcell, Regional CEO for Automotive at NSG, said “The Curzon team has been extremely good at disseminating their professional knowledge and approach into the NSG organisation, in particular key protagonists. This was done partly in a formal way, but also via more of an informal osmosis which is critical for sustainability and for subsequent roll-outs in Europe. Growth, as anticipated, wasn’t always easy but looking at the hard numbers it really has been achieved. Most importantly the foundations are in place and more will come over the next 2-3 years.”

We were highly commended in the Change Management in the Private Sector category for our work with Imtech. Paul Kavanagh, Chief Executive Officer, Imtech Technical Services, said: “Without Curzon we wouldn’t have articulated the strategy as coherently or achieved as broad engagement across the management team. While bringing their approaches to bear, Curzon ensured we owned it at all times. I would recommend Curzon to peers with similar challenges”
