Jennifer O'Donnell

Safer Shared Spaces and The Great Business Company

Facilities Management

began my career in FMCG with Bristol-Myers Squibb, gaining a strong commercial foundation before moving into senior sales roles at BBC Worldwide and Universal Music Group, where I oversaw multi-million-pound accounts. While these roles deepened my understanding of aligning purpose with profit, they also revealed disparities between leadership and support roles — inspiring me to create something different.

I went on to found a commercial cleaning company built on the principles of fairness and high standards. A launch campaign—The Only Way is Ethics—become a springboard to early success, earning Living Wage Champion status, national awards and recognition in Parliament as an example of how business should operate.

More recently, I expanded my expertise with a Diploma in ESG and further study at the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership. What I learned at Cambridge reinforced what I’d been seeing for some time—the need for a simpler, more accessible sustainability conversation that actually makes sense for leaders of small and medium sized businesses—an insight that led directly to co-founding The Great Business Company.

Matt Naude

Voltix Services Ltd

Engineering

I’m a people leader who genuinely likes people—which is surprisingly handy when you’re managing multi-site teams / clients in this fast-paced world of Mechanical and Electrical systems we call our home! Yep..... I’ve got a thing for IoT solutions (don’t judge), because staying one step ahead of the curve is kind of my sport.

Sure, everyone says they “drive performance” and “improve processes,” but I actually do it—and have the scars and success stories to prove it. From streamlining operations to enhancing customer experience (while keeping the bottom line happy), I make complex things run smoother and people feel more connected doing it. want to talk numbers? sure thing lets go.

Here’s what I bring to the table (besides good coffee and bad jokes):

Strong relationship building across teams, even the ones who think Sales, engineers and ops folks speak different languages - linking and bridging - nothing a good old process map and a spit shine can't fix!

Sales and Operational leadership across multiple sites—with enough spreadsheets to make Excel / Salesforce blush

A passion for developing people, helping them grow into the best versions of themselves (no motivational posters required) - here's the thing.... I actually really do enjoy seeing people succeed - nothing like a first sale to first month on target to being high roller for the Week, Month Year!!

Ian also brings a powerful “whole life” perspective to projects. With deep roots in Facilities Management and operational contracting, he champions a lifecycle approach that starts with the end in mind.

Fewer disputes, fewer delays, and buildings that truly work for the people who use them.
At heart, Ian is a strategic partner who brings clarity to chaos. Whether he's unravelling a disputed contract, rescuing a struggling project, or guiding a development from concept to completion, he delivers value that lasts—and builds trust every step of the way.
