Client testimonial
"Nicola has been an outstanding strategic partner to work with. She has a rare ability to step back, see the bigger picture, and then translate that vision into clear, confident strategy that actually moves things forward.
Her decision-making is thoughtful and methodical, always balancing ambition with pragmatism, which brings real clarity in moments that matter.
She is exceptionally strong at managing risk, complexity, and change. Whether navigating evolving priorities or guiding projects through uncertainty, Nicola brings calm, structure, and momentum. You always feel that challenges are being handled, not just discussed.
What really sets Nicola apart is how collaborative she is. She elevates the people around her, creates genuine teamwork, and builds trust quickly. Working with her feels like being part of a joined-up team rather than a consultant-client relationship."

The story
"The seed for Barnes Warwick was planted in 2019, but like so many things was impacted by the pandemic. I narrowed by focus to consulting in the property and construction industry that I was most recently working within - specifically sustainability and business growth. This year, I'm delighted to return to this broader offering across different industries."
