Our Story

About Clarendon Advisory

Fifteen Years of Transforming Workplaces

Clarendon Advisory was founded in 2011 by Dr. Sarah Calloway, a former organisational psychologist with a vision to bring genuinely evidence-based communication and leadership consulting to UK businesses. Starting with a small team of three in a single office in the City of London, the firm has grown steadily on the back of client referrals and measurable results.

We work with organisations across every sector — from financial services and professional services to healthcare, manufacturing, and the public sector. Our clients range from ambitious scale-ups to long-established FTSE 250 companies, united by a common ambition: to communicate better, lead more effectively, and create workplaces where people genuinely thrive.

Our mission has always been simple: to help organisations unlock the full potential of their people through clearer communication, stronger leadership, and healthier workplace cultures. We believe that when communication breaks down, organisations stagnate — and when it flows freely, they flourish.

Today, we are a team of twelve specialist consultants, coaches and facilitators, all practitioner-led and drawing on decades of combined experience in the field. We remain proudly independent, partner-led, and deeply committed to the work we do.

Our Core Values

Integrity

We say what we mean and mean what we say. Our advice is always honest, even when the truth is uncomfortable. Our clients trust us because we prioritise their success over our own convenience.

Clarity

We cut through complexity to deliver insight that is clear, actionable and relevant. We believe that clear thinking leads to clear communication — and that is the foundation of everything we do.

Empathy

Every organisation is unique. We take time to understand your culture, your people and your challenges before we recommend a single course of action. Listening comes before advising.

Excellence

We hold ourselves to the highest standards in everything we do — from the rigour of our diagnostic work to the quality of our facilitation. Good enough is never good enough at Clarendon.

Our Three-Step Approach

01

Discover

We begin by listening. Through stakeholder interviews, surveys, data analysis and observation, we build a clear picture of where your organisation is today — its strengths, its challenges, and the opportunities for meaningful change.

02

Design

Using our diagnostic findings, we co-create a bespoke programme tailored to your specific context and goals. We draw on proven frameworks but adapt them to your organisation — no off-the-shelf solutions here.

03

Deliver

We implement the programme through coaching, workshops, facilitation and ongoing advisory support. We measure progress at every stage and adapt as we go, ensuring you see real, lasting results.

Our Founder's Message

A Word from Our Founder

"I founded Clarendon Advisory because I believed UK organisations deserved better than generic, off-the-shelf consulting. Every business has its own culture, its own people, and its own communication challenges. Our job is to understand those challenges deeply — and then help you solve them, sustainably and with lasting effect."

Dr. Sarah Calloway brings over two decades of experience in organisational psychology, executive coaching and leadership development. A published researcher and regular conference speaker, she established Clarendon Advisory to bridge the gap between academic research and practical organisational change.
