About us
We believe that when employees feel heard, connected and inspired, businesses thrive.
Start With And is a strategic internal communications and employee engagement consultancy, helping organisations create people-first cultures through communication that connects, inspires and drives action.
We exist to support businesses in building workplaces where employees understand their role, feel proud of where they work, and are fully engaged in the journey ahead. Because when people feel part of something meaningful, they show up differently, and the results speak for themselves.
Our name reflects our approach: ‘And’ always leads somewhere. It connects ideas, people and purpose. It invites possibility, drives progress, and never closes the conversation. That’s why we put ‘And’ at the heart of everything we do.
We bring a depth of experience from working across a broad range of sectors including healthcare, financial services, pharmaceuticals, technology, private aviation, online gaming, and debt management. Whether it’s launching a new strategy, navigating organisational change or re-energising internal culture, we partner with clients to build communication strategies that make a real and lasting impact.
At the core of our work are the values that guide how we think, act and collaborate:
Start with People
because connection comes before communications.
Make it Matter
because communication should have a purpose, not just polish.
Be Bold
because progress needs courage, not comfort.
Keep Listening
because good communication starts with ears not mouths.
Because great cultures don’t just happen. They’re built through intention, conversation, and a commitment to keep moving forward. And we’re just getting started.
What we do
Good communication is critical to business success. Yet rarely do company’s focus on how they communicate with their people – arguably their greatest asset.
At Start with And we seek to change that, helping our clients’ put their people first through tailor-made strategies to meet client goals and budgets.

What our clients say
Lisa Caswell, Director & Lead Consultant
When I started my career I didn’t even know Internal Communication was a real job. All I knew was that the weekly sales note wasn’t landing and, as such, no one in our company really knew what was going on, let alone how they contributed to the company’s success.
Since then, I’ve been fortunate to work across a range of sectors, both inhouse and as a consultant, building strategies and solutions that help companies address their biggest ‘people’ challenges.
From helping Mastercard launch an internal campaign to raise awareness of their various sponsorship deals, to delivering workshops with teams across Johnson & Johnson to explore and develop their purpose and ability to engage others in it, my approach remains the same. Understand. Inform. Engage. Repeat.
Someone once said there’s no such thing as over communication and I couldn’t agree more.
At the heart of it all, simply put, I love what I do, and I hope I can keep helping companies engage and empower their people.
