Hello.
CulturVation has 25 years experience creating award-winning, trusted employer brands that everyone talks about. Curating best-in-class cultures where everyone wants to work. And making clients the best employers they can be.My approach to employee experience, culture and employer branding is always intentionally informed by Mindfulness. Helping me deliver creative and effective ways to attract, manage, develop and retain people.
Why Culturvation?
Workplace culture has always been my passion. Culture is the one thing that will make or break an organisation. It’s what attracts people to it, it’s what keeps people in it, but most of all, it’s what makes its employees under or over-perform depending on their experience. Today, priorities lean more towards personal fulfilment than ever before, so it’s essential that organisations foster a culture where people are highly engaged. It is a proven fact that when leaders adopt a compassionate and accepting mindset, the workplace becomes a powerful hub where individuals and teams perform at their best, driving organisational growth. My consulting services, coaching, workshops and approach will provide the skills, knowledge, and support to transform the organisational behaviours of leaders and their teams.You can expect honesty, collaboration and a commitment to listen and fully understand your objectives, challenges and your people.
Say what?
Working with Pav has been an absolute pleasure. He was brilliant at managing people and culture, always being fair, approachable, and full of positive energy.
He led by example, earning trust across the business, and had that rare ability to balance strong leadership with a great sense of humour. He made the workplace feel supportive, inclusive, and genuinely enjoyable.
Simply put, he was the kind of leader who made a lasting difference and I would go as far as to say he’s the best People Director I’ve ever worked with.

Working with Pav has been nothing short of transformative for our agency. When we brought him in at the start of 2023, we already had a strong culture, but what he brought to the table was the ability to elevate it to a whole new level. He helped us sharpen and amplify our employer brand, brought clarity and consistency to the entire employee experience, and supported us in embedding values that now underpin everything from hiring to exit.
The results speak for themselves. We now have a 96% retention rate, attrition is under 10%, and we've launched a new in-house learning academy called Pedal to Success, that’s already becoming a cornerstone of our culture. But beyond the numbers, the sense of pride and belonging among our people is deeper and more authentic than ever. Our culture is inclusive, energised, and truly differentiated - even our competitors have started to take notice.
I can say without hesitation that Pav has had a lasting impact on our business. His insight, integrity, and ability to create positive change is rare. We consider him a vital part of our growth journey and would recommend them wholeheartedly to any organisation looking to become a genuinely great place to work."

Having reached a point in my career where I was ‘repeating myself’ I decided that a leadership coach was something that I wanted to try.
I met a few coaches but Pav stood out as the natural ‘fit’ for me. His open and honest approach made me feel at ease and, despite initially being slightly cynical about the practice, I soon was able to trust him.
Over the course of 8 months he helped me to understand my values and to reflect these in my applications. He also helped build my confidence and was always able to assist me at short notice whether to discuss a personal challenge or to support preparation for an interview.
Before meeting Pav I had reached the final stage of 3 interview processes without securing the job. With his assistance I was able to secure a role with a company that offered a new challenge and aligned with my value set at the first time of trying. I am grateful to Pav for giving me the confidence and clarity of thought to achieve that outcome
