# Purple Pebble People
Purple Pebble People is a Huddersfield-based organisational development and personal coaching consultancy established in 2011 by Ali Carruthers-Illingworth and Jamie Illingworth. The firm specialises in unlocking human potential across individuals, teams and entire organisations through tailored interventions in leadership, culture and personal development.
The business serves organisations of all sizes, from first-time managers to C-suite executives, alongside individuals seeking executive coaching or career clarity. Their approach combines practical expertise gained from working with global businesses with a genuine commitment to helping clients discover their true meaning, worth and potential.
What distinguishes Purple Pebble People is their integrated, holistic methodology. Rather than offering isolated training programmes, they provide strategic consultation spanning leadership development, team dynamics, organisational structure, purpose alignment and values definition. Their team comprises qualified coaches with genuine expertise in human development, supported by a broader network of specialists. A notable differentiator is their partnership with Powered By Mates™ to deliver the award-winning Six Connections™ wellbeing programme, positioning them at the intersection of performance and employee wellbeing.
The company's ethos—built on authenticity, approachability, positivity and creativity—reflects a refreshingly human-centred approach. They recognise that sustainable organisational growth stems from understanding people, uncovering hidden strengths and establishing improved ways of working that boost both performance and collaboration.
