ridler & co limited was founded by Clive Mann and Nigel McEwen, to respond to the demands of the rapidly evolving executive coaching sector in the UK. The company’s history goes back to 2001.

Over time those demands have changed, so have we. Our approach is based on a detailed and thorough analysis of today's market. We view executive coaching as a subtle, dynamic and often complex exercise - and one that should only be delivered by expertly trained and highly experienced professionals.

Our most recent research (link to summary), conducted with some of the best known businesses in Britain, shows that organisations now expect coaches to have:
  • A proven track record in coaching, which demonstrates the ability to add substantial value to clients and their employees
  • An understanding of the commercial background in which their clients seek to thrive
  • An understanding of the psychological needs of clients
  • The ability to fit culturally within the coaching buyer's organisation
  • Regular supervision of their coaching work

Our coaches
ridler & co coaches are a new breed of coaches who have been chosen through a challenging selection process and have impeccable credentials. They work to the highest professional standards under top class supervision and have spent many years gaining relevant professional qualifications in the practice of working one-to-one with individuals. They have wide understanding and personal experience of organisational behaviour and have all worked extensively as successful senior managers and business leaders.

All have impeccable track records in coaching, established over a period of at least five years, mostly considerably longer.
