Recent clients include senior executives from DHL, Nike, Nestle, Adobe, Canon, Barclays, AIB Bank, Bupa, Fidelity International, Loreal, The European Central Bank, Mars, Vodafone, NHS, Telstra, LinkedIn, Worldpay, IHS Markit, Mercer, Euler Hermes, Arriva, Wella, Johnson Matthey, Genpact, Taylor Wessing, Ingram Micro Cloud, Bunzl, De Beers, Sanofi, CB Richard Ellis, Thomson Reuters, Royal London, ANZ, KPMG, and Schroders.
