Team 10Eighty

We are a people business, we like working with others. We don’t just talk about caring and sharing, we practice what we preach – such as collaborative knowledge-sharing and team-building because it’s our lifeblood.

We love to party, and we love purple, just look at our website, we are purple people! Purple is a bit different, not too ‘corporate’, it’s been associated with royalty, power and wealth for centuries due to the rarity and cost of the dye originally used to produce it. Other purple logos include Yahoo!, Asprey, Milka, Zoopla, Cadbury and Silk Cut (shhh! not PC).

We like a challenge alongside our fun and have taken part in the JP Morgan Corporate Challenge every year since 2013, we make pretty good times too.

About us

Based in the UK, our team of coaches, facilitators and leadership consultants work with clients to build plans tailored to their organization and goals. We opened and closed an office in Dubai, fun while it lasted but sadly it didn’t make commercial sense.

We may be small but we think big. This year we worked with 72 corporate clients on projects including leadership and management, outplacement and career management.

We think global too and delivered services in 39 countries from Australia to the USA; we play an active role in the Global Outplacement Alliance (GOA), a cohesive network of international career specialists providing best in industry outplacement and career management services.

What our name means

We think in tens and eighties – 10% of your team will be highly talented so you need to help them to develop and grow. 10% might be struggling or ready to leave and we can help them make that transition. The other 80% are the bedrock of the business, we can help to increase their engagement and your organizational effectiveness.

We care about the world we work in and chose Barnardo’s as our charity for 2020, raising over £2,000 as well as donating items to local Barnardo’s shops. We raised £1,000 for The Centre for Young Musicians who played at our Christmas party at the Shard in November 2019; their string quartet entertained guests as they arrived. We supported KidsOut at their Winter Ball charity fundraising dinner in November 2019.

In 2020 our marketing co-ordinator Shannon Rowlands, revamped the 10Eighty website to reflect the growing importance of social media and, in particular, data analytics, in all things related to outplacement, career management and leadership development. Take a look at www.10eighty.co.uk
