Pragmatic HR. Human-focused coaching. Real impact.
I’m Sarah Marrow, founder and director.
Following a corporate career starting 25-30 years ago in ‘Big 4’ consulting and professional services, via a broad cross-section of in-house People and HR roles, ranging from global PLCs to founder-led SMEs and start-ups, I founded the business back in the depths of the Covid pandemic.
Mahler Marrow Consulting was created to provide a blend of services to clients, both businesses and individuals, around a common theme of People & Change. To achieve this I draw on my extensive experience within organisations, creating, developing and leading generalist HR functions, supporting business leaders to navigate business change and individuals to successfully transition in their careers.
A highly experienced blend of services tailored to suit businesses and individuals, all of which focus on the common theme of People & Change.
It is a privilege to have worked with so many distinguished and leading figures in business, their people and many individuals transitioning in their careers and life. It is an even bigger privilege to hear their feedback.
We engaged Sarah to support us in shaping our culture as an employer. Sarah listened to the brief and conducted a thorough review, encompassing multiple stakeholder input. The output delivered was to a very high standard and exactly what we needed. As well as sharing insight and best practice, Sarah’s report provided us with immediate recommendations and a practical plan for longer-term implementation. Sarah is professional and credible and we intend to continue working with her.
As an HR Director, Sarah is a valued and trusted advisor with a commercial and strategic outlook. She shows a genuine interest in the business operation and develops HR initiatives which support and drive business goals. Whilst working as part of my leadership team, as part of a very broad remit, Sarah successfully introduced an employee engagement strategy which increased engagement levels by 9% year on year, she achieved significant savings through efficient benefits management and developed an award-nominated apprenticeship programme. I particularly value Sarah's integrity, adaptability and ability to listen and challenge.
Sarah’s enormous and highly varied sector experience allows clients to benefit from a smart, considered and strategic approach. Her calm, considered style and ability to balance tactical delivery with a big picture focus is a potent and effective mix. From engagement and complex legislative roll-outs to tackling modern slavery, I doubt there is a people initiative left that Sarah has not made a difference to.
I had the pleasure of working with Sarah as we established IP House’s presence in the UK. She played a key role in helping us build the right HR framework and navigate the local landscape with professionalism and care. From day one, Sarah brought sound judgment, reliability, and a calm, solutions-focused approach to every situation. She was collaborative, steady under pressure, and always approached her work with integrity and balance. I’m very grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to any organization looking for an experienced and thoughtful HR professional.
