Our purpose
Why we exist
To give public sector leaders the clarity, capability, and confidence to improve the services that matter most to people.
The public sector faces unprecedented pressure — rising demand, constrained resources, and the constant need to do more with less. Too often, organisations are left to navigate this alone, with limited access to the specialist expertise that can make the difference between stalling and succeeding.
TMPM was built to change that. We bring together a network of experienced practitioners — people who have held senior roles in the NHS, local government, and housing — and deploy them where they are needed most, in the way that works best for each organisation.
Leadership
Foreword from our CEO
“I founded TMPM because I believe I am good at helping people make sense of complicated situations.”
Hello, and welcome to the TMPM website. I founded TMPM because I believe I am good at helping people make sense of complicated situations. The honest version is that I have spent much of my career working with organisations where people are working incredibly hard, but the way forward is not always clear.
Programmes can become overwhelmed by meetings, governance, competing priorities and pressure. Good ideas get stuck, decisions take too long, and the people who rely on services do not always feel the benefit of all that activity. That is where TMPM can help.
My connection to public services is personal. I grew up on a council estate in Sheffield, surrounded by ordinary working people who quietly served their communities. My dad worked for Royal Mail, my mum spent much of her career in care, my eldest brother joined the RAF, and my other brother fostered many looked-after children. Through my own family, I have also experienced health, maternity, neonatal, mental health and adult social care services — not as a consultant, but as a son, brother, and father.

An introduction to TMPM
What drives us
Our values
Integrity
We say what we mean and do what we say. Our clients trust us because we are honest about what is working, what is not, and what needs to change.
Expertise
Every member of the TMPM network has been selected for their depth of real-world experience. We bring knowledge that has been earned, not just studied.
Partnership
We work alongside your teams, not above them. Our goal is to build your internal capability so that the improvements we help create are sustained long after we leave.
Impact
We measure our success by the outcomes our clients achieve — improved services, stronger systems, and better experiences for the people who depend on them.
Adaptability
No two organisations are the same. We tailor our approach to your context, your culture, and your ambitions — not the other way around.
Accountability
We take ownership of our work and stand behind our recommendations. When challenges arise, we stay at the table and work through them together.
How we work
Our approach
TMPM operates as a trusted partner, not a traditional consultancy. We embed experienced practitioners into your organisation, working at pace to diagnose, design, and deliver.
01
Understand
We begin by listening. Every engagement starts with a thorough understanding of your context, your challenges, and your goals — before we recommend anything.
02
Diagnose
Using our proven diagnostic frameworks, we identify the root causes of underperformance and the opportunities for improvement that others may have missed.
03
Design
We co-design solutions with your teams, drawing on best practice from across the sector and adapting it to your specific circumstances.
04
Deliver
We stay for delivery. Our practitioners work alongside your people to implement change, build capability, and ensure that improvements are embedded and sustained.
