“Pete facilitated four distinct workshops and did so with insight and clarity, enabling participants to get where they need to be in a timely manner. Unafraid to work with groups who may not see eye-to-eye at the start, he builds consensus and a clear pathway forwards. I wholeheartedly recommend working with Pete.”
The Care Forum
Quartet Community Foundation
“I contracted Pete for a tricky and delicate piece of partnership working involving many stakeholders, lots of different views and strong personalities. The whole project lasted 6 months and was shrouded in ambiguity. Pete steered us skilfully through to a successful outcome. He was always calm, extremely diligent and had excellent communication skills working out how best to deal with individual stakeholders. Part of the project also involved facilitating some workshops, working at times with over 100 people from different voluntary/community sector organisations. Pete has a very relaxed, friendly and assured style to which people responded very positively.”
North Devon Against Domestic Abuse
“One telephone call and I was in touch with Pete Hawkins who, like a knight in shining armour, rushed in to help. He assimilated a lot of information in a very short time, accompanied me to an emergency meeting and got me through negotiations that without his assistance frankly I could have walked out of in disappointment and was generally a fabulous support for me - sharpening up the bid and making sure all bases were covered. I would have no hesitation in recommending his services.”
Trinity Homeless Projects
“Pete has worked with Trinity for 15 years, most recently with our senior management team to get us into shape as a team.
If you are looking for someone just to agree with you or tell you what they think you want to hear…do not hire Pete Hawkins! If, on the other hand you are looking for the sort of clarity and unbiased assessment that leads to real positive change, then Pete’s who you are looking for….but be prepared for straight talking honesty.”
