Our People
Brendan Martin
Managing Director
Brendan has a long track record of helping public service organisations improve services and working lives through the power of engaged employees. Drawing on his three decades experience in 70 countries, Brendan leads our work to develop trust-based cultures to support freedom with responsibility at work.
A journalist and broadcaster by background, his passion to create better services, jobs and organisational performance through self-managed team work and workforce and community involvement runs through everything he does as the Managing Director of Buurtzorg Britain and Ireland and the founder of Public World.
Rachel Way
Head of Operations
Rachel has an exceptional history in supporting mission-led organisations in their ambition to grow and have a bigger impact. Having been the backbone of our organisation for many years Rachel now uses her experience to lead our operations and account management. She makes sure we’re on track with all the planning and delivery of our change programmes with a growing number of different organisations in an ever-widening range of sectors.
Having been a key member of our project teams in many of those programmes, and with experience of working closely with Buurtzorg for the last five years, especially as our lead in the Transforming Integrated Community Care project, she is also hands-on with several of our programmes.
Ali Rice
Programme Design and Comms Lead
With years of strategic and delivery experience in a range of sectors, Ali’s always looking at the bigger picture and ensuring that our learning and development materials and programmes match our purpose and mission and add value for our clients and partners, and our team and associates.
Ali not only leads on the design and production of our learning and development programme but also makes sure we stay on brand. She also keeps us ‘social’ on all our media so that clients, partners and friends are kept up-to-date with our work.
Jade Hockie
Business Support
Jade’s highly valued PA expertise across many sectors is what keeps us on topic, on time and in the right place! Jade manages our busy schedules, liaises with our clients and suppliers to ensure all the necessary paperwork and admin are in place and the bills are paid.
She makes sure we pay full attention to every necessary detail while keeping our admin as simple as possible – which, as a core principle of working in the Buurtzorg way, is so important to us!
