Orange Pip Limited was setup by Helen Askey in 2000. Helen has been in the training and development field all her working life. Her experiences of managing people and managing training and development functions have given her a deep understanding of people, learning and introducing change. She has worked for companies in the manufacturing, financial services and engineering sector.
One of Helen's key values is development and learning, and she always ensures that her learning is translated into client's learning.
She believes in empowering clients to develop and sustain their organisations.
“I expect any HR consultant worth their salt to be able to explain how to use MBTI or Belbin and to have a good understanding of change management. I also expect them to be able to explain those tools and concepts, and numerous others, simply and clearly. I want more than that. What I look for in a consultant is the ability to recognise what’s going on within my team, to treat everyone as individuals and to help us to tackle the issues that are preventing us from working as effectively as we should. Helen has certainly done this in delivering our Leadership Development Programme. It’s been challenging, even a bit traumatic at times, but we’re becoming better leaders and a better team as a result.”
