We are a specialist L&D consultancy trusted by HR Directors, L&D Managers and People Directors at some of the UK's most respected organisations. We design and deliver bespoke leadership development, management capability and people performance programmes — with measurable results.
We founded Growth Performance in April 2016 with a vision to be the best loved learning and development provider in the industry — a specialist leadership development consultancy that puts measurable performance improvement above all else.
Having worked for some of the biggest brands in the world for nearly two decades, we know what it takes to make human performance work. We have designed and delivered leadership training programmes, management development courses, executive coaching, team building workshops, and corporate training for organisations including McDonald's, TikTok, TUI, Five Guys, the 2012 London Olympics, Birmingham 2022, Wimbledon, and ICAEW.
Our approach is built on a simple insight: the most powerful driver of organisational performance is the quality of leadership at every level. When managers lead well — with emotional intelligence, clear communication, genuine coaching capability, and the courage to hold people accountable — teams perform, people stay, and organisations grow.
We focus solutions on designing 'holistic' performance approaches that change behaviour — not just build knowledge. Every leadership training programme or management development initiative we design is bespoke, evidence-based, and built to deliver measurable change in the way people lead, manage, and perform.
In 2026, we have repositioned around the most urgent challenge facing organisations today: building the human advantage in an AI-driven world. As AI automates analytical and routine tasks, the premium shifts to the distinctly human capabilities that AI cannot replicate — leadership, emotional intelligence, coaching, influence, and team performance. These are the capabilities we specialise in developing.

The values that bind our team together and set us apart.
Our passion is about using innovation to develop better ways to make knowledge, skills and new routines stick. We love being given the 'big opportunity' to improve human performance.
We build long-term, trusted, and valuable relationships with our clients, our people, and our partners. We aim to be the quintessential trusted advisor for learning and performance.
We have an awesome team that are some of the best classroom facilitators, coaches, instructional designers and digital learning developers ready to make an impact on performance.
We will create fanatical advocates by providing extraordinary experiences and unprecedented outcomes for our clients and their customers.
We work with you to understand 'the big opportunity' and develop an approach that best fits your business by taking a holistic approach to human performance.
Not just creating GREAT experiences for learners, but using learning and development innovation that works to drive performance with our 'sticky learning' design approach.
Whether we are designing eLearning, Virtual Reality simulations, experiential learning or more traditional approaches...it will be developed rapidly, tested and made to fit the learner.
We have the world's best facilitators and coaches that can be relied upon to challenge the learner to go beyond their own pre-conceived / limiting beliefs.
Right at the beginning we will have agreed how to measure 'the big opportunity' and now we make sure we evaluate success.
Part of our approach is that we build long term relationships with our clients to create better value. Post programme support will be available for all participants.
We are a specialist boutique — which means every leadership training programme and management development initiative we design is genuinely bespoke. We don't use off-the-shelf content or generic frameworks. We invest time understanding your organisation's culture, your leaders' actual challenges, and the specific outcomes you need. And we measure our impact at every level — learner reaction, behaviour change, and business performance.
We work with large and medium-sized organisations across the UK and internationally — including retail, hospitality, financial services, professional services, healthcare, and the public sector. Our clients include McDonald's, TikTok, TUI, Five Guys, ICAEW, Vue, and Papa John's. We are trusted by HR Directors, L&D Managers, People Directors, and CEOs who want a development partner who will deliver measurable results.
Both — and more. We design and deliver leadership training programmes, management training courses, executive coaching, team building workshops, coaching skills training, presentation skills training, soft skills training, and change management training. We also offer emotional intelligence assessment using the Genos EI model and personality profiling using Insights Discovery. Think of us as your complete leadership and people development partner.
We deliver programmes in all formats — in-person workshops at your premises or our training venues, virtual programmes via Zoom and MS Teams, and hybrid formats combining in-person and virtual elements. We are based in London but regularly deliver programmes across the UK, Europe, the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, and North America.
We use a multi-level measurement framework: learner reaction and satisfaction (Level 1), knowledge and skill transfer (Level 2), behaviour change measured through 360-degree feedback and manager observation (Level 3), and business impact including engagement scores, retention rates, and performance metrics (Level 4). We agree measurement criteria with you at the outset so the ROI of your leadership development investment is clear and demonstrable.
