Resting and finding our joy helps us replenish our mind, body and soul, ready to be productive at work. We add purpose into our understanding of work hard, play hard.

Meet our Fabulous Team Of Waymakers
Lydia Berry
Owner & Director
Getting to know so many businesses going through change and growth, supporting them and seeing them thrive and achieve their definition of success is very fulfilling. I love seeing the progression from when we first meet a business and their team, learning all about their challenges and ambitions and then taking them through our practical advice, working with them and seeing the results.
Building my team of Waymakers has been so rewarding. We’re carving out a new way to do business which focuses on servant leadership, recognising the whole person, allowing the team to fulfil their potential.
Matt Berry
Director
Waymaker allows me the flexibility and freedom to explore new strengths, and the encouragement to discover new skills. Collectively we are building upon our gifts and talents and celebrating the achievements along the way. Marking milestones for both our clients and our team is at the core of being a Waymaker, and always inspires and motivates me.
Our company values place great emphasis on looking after the ‘whole’ person so that we can confidently put ‘all our might’ into everything we do, and being able to see the benefits of working in this environment is both refreshing and rewarding.
