About

We've been in the room. That's why we know what to look for.

&Evolve are experts in workplace culture — bringing together operational wisdom, behavioural science, and honest facilitation experience to help senior leaders see what's actually happening, and do something about it.

Our story

Founded on a simple belief.

&Evolve was founded on a simple belief: that when organisations create cultures where people care deeply and perform brilliantly, the world is a better place.

We bring together operational wisdom, behavioural science, and real facilitation experience to help leaders see what's actually happening, and do something about it.

Brand values

Trust · Wisdom · Authenticity · Kindness

Trust

Honest enough to tell you what you need to hear, not just what you want to.

Wisdom

We draw on experience, research, and human insight, not theory alone.

Authenticity

We show up as we are. We help you do the same.

Kindness

We challenge with care. Always.

Meet the team

The people in the room.

Operators, psychologists, and engagement specialists who've led teams, sat in boardrooms, and know what it takes to shift a culture.

Portrait of Amrit Sandhar

Amrit Sandhar

Founder / CEO

A former Pharmacist with an analytical mind, Amrit has led teams across the UK in Operations and headed up Employee Engagement at Asda before joining the Sunday Times Best Companies organisation. He's the kind of person who keeps a 'Mr Daydream' mug on his desk — always thinking up new ideas. In an alternate universe, he'd be an astronaut (and still thinks it's possible in this one).

Portrait of Kam Sandhar

Kam Sandhar

Operations Director

Kam keeps everything together and on track. With 20 years across Sales, Customer Service, and Recruitment, she brings a wealth of experience and a common-sense approach to keeping the team running smoothly. Loves history, mythology, a good murder mystery, and chocolate — bonus points if all four can be combined.

Portrait of Carole Castle

Carole Castle

Leadership Development Manager

Carole started in retail management — supermarkets, clothing, camping stores, and over 20 years with Argos — before discovering a passion for training. For the last decade she's specialised in leadership, management, team-leading and customer service. Outside work she's a crown green bowler, avid reader, jewellery maker, and exceptional cook. In another life, she'd be Suzi Quatro.

Portrait of Amy Billings

Amy Billings

Leadership & Engagement Manager

13 years in the Utilities industry — from the call centre, through coaching and training, to leading a 150-strong team in a challenging operational environment. Amy loves helping people find their fit and bring their best, willingly. Committed yogi, sea-swimmer year-round, charity-shop devotee, and reliably found on the dancefloor.

Portrait of Ali Brown

Ali Brown

Lead Occupational Psychologist & Executive Coach

Ali has been teaching, training and developing people for over 20 years. A Chartered Occupational Psychologist, published author, and former senior lecturer, her work is grounded in ethical, evidence-based practice — devising practical workplace solutions that boost engagement, productivity, and job satisfaction. At her best on a long walk in nature, or hosting a house full of family, friends, and food.

In their words

What clients say about working with us.

The people we've partnered with — from global manufacturers to national charities — on what changes when culture gets the attention it deserves.

If you're considering working with &Evolve, I could not recommend them more highly — the value you get from such a project is truly immense.

Stellantis is a multinational automotive business which has only been formed recently through the merger of some great automotive brands — Vauxhall, Fiat, Peugeot, Alfa Romeo, DS, Citroen, Maserati and Peugeot. Managing such an integration at a time of significant turmoil, a rapidly changing future state with organisations coming together with differing historical values and culture is a huge challenge. In the UK we wanted to look for a partner who could help us manage the transition by putting a mirror up to the leadership team and to create the stimulus for change. That change is to create a great place to work by driving higher levels of engagement, enablement and motivation for everyone in the organisation. We decided to work with &Evolve. Amrit and his team were the perfect choice. Clearly they are highly skilled in change management but more importantly Amrit has a unique style that is able to lead the debate without resorting to detached theoretical concepts nor alienating anyone across the team in the process. I would really endorse &Evolve to any organisation that is facing the hardest business challenge — shaping the culture.

Amrit gets to the heart of a company to understand the issues and push it forward. Totally supportive and personable, his calming, yet firm, manner make him a dream to work with. I would recommend Amrit to any organisation.

We have been working with &Evolve for a year now. Their attention to detail and commitment in taking time to understand our complex organisation has been fantastic. The team have become part of our team and are trusted colleagues who have both coached, and in many cases, inspired many here at Chester Zoo. As a result of &Evolve's support, we have become a stronger and more effective team of people. We hope to carry on including &Evolve in our future plans.

Amrit worked with the Medicines Discovery Catapult and its management team for over 6 months during multiple lockdowns. His open approach helped gather a true, real-world view of the culture of the company and the challenges it faced. He was able to communicate these to all stakeholders in a straightforward and positive manner — not shrinking from the tough points for focus but recognising the many positives alongside them. The action plan that came from this analysis included specific team building approaches and self-awareness sessions. He worked 1:1 with the executive group to understand their backgrounds, drivers and roles within a team dynamic. Amrit finished this work by capturing and crystallising the desired behaviours within the organisation through a number of workshops. Despite their virtual nature the workshops had energy, focus, tempo and purpose. Amrit is a calm and confident listener who has the experience to know what to do next, and an inclusive approach which brings people towards him. I recommend any business leader to listen seriously to what Amrit says he can do for them and their organisation.

Working with &Evolve has been a transformational experience for Bupa. We have, for the first time, really heard what will make the biggest difference to our employees, and fascinatingly, it's been the smallest things we haven't previously paid enough attention to changing — and getting these things right has the potential to improve our commercial performance significantly.

The first time I met with Amrit, I was immediately impressed with his enthusiasm and energy — he quickly became part of the team rather than a consultant. I would totally recommend working with Amrit. If you're looking for someone who is credible, pragmatic, enthusiastic and will absolutely get under the skin of the business, then Amrit is the person to choose.

Setting aside specific time into my working week for reflection has brought many benefits to me personally. Having the space and time to focus on the bigger picture and reflect on new insights and learnings has ultimately given me greater clarity and enabled more informed decision making.

It is very important that we are always listening to our colleagues, ensuring the improvements we are making are genuinely working and having the desired impact. By doing this work every year, we can really see the traction we are making and where we need to put more focus. This makes us a great place to work, which of course makes Dunelm a great place to shop.
