Testimonials
"Bateleur Partners was central to guiding and implementing a new strategy and operating plan for Khula. Kate and Stephen brought with them an intellectually driven yet practical framework, a clear understanding of the environment in which we operate and real directional advice.
In a short time, all the stakeholders involved agreed a new and ambitious vision along with the path to implementation. Bateleur Partners then stayed with us, recruiting our new CEO from their own superb network, and advising on a revised management structure for the organisation.
Positive change is already visible after only one year, and the successes in the field and in fundraising are profound."
Robin Woodhead, Chairman, KHULA, and Chairman, Sotheby's International
"That was a massively good [board strategy] session and people really enjoyed it and felt it was very useful. Extremely well managed and in particular I am very happy we came to those conclusions.

"As an early stage, social purpose charity operating in South Africa, we are incredibly indebted to Bateleur Partners for the support, advice and direction they have given, and continue to give us.
This has encompassed strategy, fundraising advice, M & E and governance - all difficult areas to navigate if you haven’t the necessary experience but want to make the maximum impact.
As a result our mistakes have been few, our professionalism evident, and our critical impact much more effective than it could ever have been. We feel we have a trusted, highly impressive team behind us, who focus on action and the essential and who really believe in what we are doing."
Amanda Slowe, Trustee, Tore's Foudation
