Meet the Sheffield team

Hi, I’m Jon!

I’m the Managing Director at ActionCOACH Sheffield, Chesterfield & Worksop.

Having spent the last 20 years building coaching teams, it’s my privilege to lead what I consider to be the best coaching team not only in the North of England, but in the United Kingdom.

Bringing a wealth of experience from a multitude of backgrounds from leaders of FTSE 100 companies, to true entrepreneurs. The coaching team at ActionOCACH Sheffield, Chesterfield & Worksop brings talent, experience and patience to ensure we get the results you want.

Jon’s position is to ensure that we get you the right fit on your journey. Our process has been cultivated for many years to ensure that not only do we get the right skills fit, but also the personality match to help you get the results you deserve.

Together we have one 80 years experience serving business owners around the world. Having worked with over 1,000 companies at the last count and helped business owners create more than 1000 new positions and recruit more than 3000 people.

I spent most of my professional career serving companies all over the UK, in 2018 I decided to focus on the people that mean the most to me, Northerners. My sole focus is to help transform the lives of business owners and help them create the thing they first dreamt of when starting their business.

My passion is FAMILY, and I love to spend time with my wonderful wife and two daughters.
