Andy & Chris

We'll be the first to admit that we couldn't be more different.

Andy Lewis MBE is an adrenaline-chasing, multi-gold medallist Paralympian, whilst Chris Powell MHFA is a highly-experienced, award-winning senior educator and entrepreneur.

But we've both struggled with our demons, and come out on top. We've learnt a lot along the way, and we want to share those lessons to make your journey shorter, easier, and less gruelling.

Whether it's building resilience and wellbeing in your workforce, or giving your pupils the strength and knowledge to push themselves, our unique combination of experience allow us to support the growth of people, purpose, and profits.

Thank you very, very much for presenting at our Away Day on Wednesday. You were the clear highlight of the day for all the people who attended. It was also lovely that you stayed behind for photos and brought your medals for us to see. Yours was an inspirational story, and our staff were moved by it, and motivated by it.

Success Stories: Matti

Matti came to Bespoke as a 18-24 mentee, with personal issues coming in the way of school, Matti unfortunately left school without qualifications. In his sessions with Bespoke, Matti has shown a vivid interest in Recycling, so Bespoke helped to support Matti to find a Position in this field

Chris and Andy helped Matti apply to the waste management company, Biffa which was completed and hand delivered to the Manager at a local branch. Over the next sessions, while they waited for a response, they took the time to get out on the bikes together to really get to know Matti as well as making him aware of the importance of staying fit and healthy in the outdoors. Futhermore, Andy helped Matti repair his bike so that he would have adequate transport to his future employment

Since the End of the sessions, Matti has been offered, and began working at his local Biffa site.
