Lewis has been (and, I hope, will continue to be) a truly valuable sounding board and source of clear, practical advice for me in my charity work. He immediately understood what my charity was about and our values, and his advice matched them perfectly. I’ve really enjoyed working with him so far, and I look forward to doing so again.

Lewis has provided invaluable advice on funding and strategy for ootiboo CIC. From the outset, his deep knowledge of the funding landscape was clear. His straight-talking, common-sense approach has helped us sharpen our focus and identify the right next steps to move our company forward. I would highly recommend Lewis to any organisation seeking to build a strong, sustainable future. We look forward to continue our journey with Lewis in our quest to bring real-life skills to the next generation.

We met Lewis at a recent construction show and had a great talk with him around the issues and challenges we have faced and our barriers to growth. He has been a great help to us in working out what our next steps will be in growing our business, what we need to get in place to make this happen and planning ahead for the future. Looking forward to a long relationship with Lewis and Underpin as we continue to progress and move forward.

I met with Lewis English and he was knowledgeable and gave really actionable insights on building strategies and communicating impact to donors. His experience working with charities shows as he shares many examples of success.

As a committee member of our community shop (a CIC business), I reached out to Lewis for advice on some challenges we were facing, following a recommendation from a friend and fellow business owner. Lewis generously gave up his time to speak with our chairperson and me at length, helping us review our current financial situation and explore possible ways forward. His guidance was both realistic and pragmatic, providing real clarity on our options, suggesting alternative approaches, and helping us feel more confident about our next steps. Thank you Lewis, for your valuable advice and support.

We all need someone who can take an idea, truly listen, and turn it into something even better than we imagined - and that’s exactly what Lewis did for us. It was a real pleasure working with him on refining the new logo for our network. We wanted a members' logo that our community could use with pride, and thanks to Lewis’s creative insight and thoughtful recommendations, we now have a design that we’re genuinely proud to share. Thank you, Lewis, for helping us create something that not only looks great but also truly reflects who we are and what we stand for. I’d wholeheartedly recommend Lewis for any marketing or design work - especially if you're after something purposeful, polished, and perfectly aligned with your brand.

Lewis delivered an outstanding session for our learners - engaging, inspiring, and full of energy. The ideas generated were fantastic, and it was clear how much the group gained from the experience. What really stood out was Lewis’ ability to connect with each learner, giving them space and confidence to contribute. One learner who can find it hard to engage shared, “Lewis made it easier for me to be involved” - high praise! Another was confident enough to present their ideas to the group. Staff also commented on his enthusiasm, adaptability, and clear communication. One staff member shared, “He changed the way I think about failure.” A truly valuable and memorable session. Thank you, Lewis!

Thank you.

We will be in touch soon - or you can book a meeting with me below.
