Our values

Everything we do is driven by our core values and guiding principles.

  • Partnership: we don’t supply to our clients, we partner with them to achieve mutual success.
  • Bespoke: we tailor everything we do, across all of our programmes and solutions, to the individual needs and objectives of each and every client.
  • Challenging: we don’t just tell you what you want to hear; we question your objectives and are honest about the best ways to achieve them.
  • Analytical: research and data are the foundation of everything we do. But we don’t just deliver data to you – we provide in-depth, analytical insight that guides decision-making.
  • Commercial: we solve your business challenges, driving better performance and achieving clearly stated goals.
  • Simple: we keep things clear and free from jargon.
  • Evidence-led: we measure the ROI of everything we deliver.
  • Sustainable: we share best practice with your organisation so you can continue to drive transformation at your pace.

We are proud to be the trusted partner of some amazing organisations…

Sarah Jordan

Managing Director & Co-founder

Sarah is the co-founder and Managing Director at ENGAGE. Previously Head of Research and Analytics, she has been with ENGAGE since 2008 and, in 2013, co-led an MBO of the Research and Consulting division of the firm. She started her career at YouGov Plc where she worked within the social and political research team, the CEO’s innovation unit and the organisational research and consulting team.

With over 15 years of experience in employee engagement research, Sarah has worked on a wide variety of large-scale UK and international programmes with clients including A&O, Aviva, ABI, BBC, BDO, BT, Camelot, Centrica, Co-op, Diageo, Direct Line Group, Ernst & Young, First Group, G4S, Grant Thornton, HBO, innocent, McCain, Merlin Entertainments, Microsoft, Moss Bros, MSCI, Musgrave Group, O2, Sainsbury’s, Standard Chartered, Travis Perkins Group, Vodafone and Zurich.

At ENGAGE, Sarah has the enviable role of the day-to-day management of the business, leading on L&D to ensure we really unlock the potential of our talented team, driving our innovation programme and, as a priority, working directly with a range of clients to develop the best solutions to their engagement challenges. Sarah’s expertise is in designing effective feedback programmes through which to deliver action-oriented, business-focused engagement research and advice.

Sarah has an MA in International Governance & Public Policy and a BA in Politics & Philosophy, both from the University of Manchester. In her spare time, Sarah is most at home by the sea. She tries to stay fit (on a bicycle these days) but only really as a necessary response to her love of fine wine and cheese!

Dr Andy Brown

Andy is married to Sarah, has two teenage children (Daisy and Joey), plus one permanently sleeping cat, Marple and lives in Blackheath, London. He is a long-suffering Sunderland fan (by reason of birth, rather than choice) and is still learning to play the drums.

Juliet has extensive experience in business support work and much of her career she has worked in the sports industry. Initially at Chelsea FC, she then worked at a sports sponsorship agency for over ten years in tennis, cricket, golf, rugby and football and worked on many high profile sporting events including the Champions League Final and the Ryder Cup. This work incorporated sponsorship, marketing, hospitality and events for clients including AXA, UBS, LV=, Vodafone, E.ON and Reuters.

Outside of ENGAGE Juliet loves living by the sea (especially when the sun is shining), where she is often found walking Twiglet, her ridiculously friendly Jack Russell terrier, is a fan of most sports and particularly enjoys skiing, playing tennis and paddle-boarding (in fair weather only!).
