[ About us ]
Two consultants, two founders, and the conversation we kept having.
[ The origin ]
We both spent time in consulting — Sarra in change management, Bec in strategy and operations. It was there we developed a particular way of listening, questioning and spotting patterns others have stopped noticing. We met in London, became friends, and watched each other's careers go in different directions over the next fifteen years.
We each spent a long time inside large organisations, building real depth and doing serious work. Eventually, we reached a point where we wanted something different — not a new role, but a different kind of working life altogether. So we left and started building our own businesses.
That got us talking. We'd been through the same thing: the gap between knowing your own value and finding the words for it. Knowing you want something different, but not quite being able to articulate what. We'd navigated it ourselves. We suspected we weren't the only ones.
[ WORK in PROGRESS ] is what we built for that person.
[ Sarra Lee ]
Sarra works at the intersection of change practice and AI — helping leaders in service-based businesses make it useful in practice, not in theory. Twenty years inside UK financial services, working at board and regulator level, gave her a finely tuned instinct for what clarity actually requires. Her research into how small professional service firms actually adopt AI keeps that instinct grounded in evidence rather than hype.
In a [ WORK in PROGRESS ] conversation, her job is the same as it has always been: surface the assumptions, name what's actually going on, and turn complexity into something you can act on.
[ Bec Teh ]
Bec has spent her career working across the full end-to-end of complex businesses — linking commercial, operational, and financial decisions in organisations where those functions rarely speak the same language. Deloitte, Amazon, Disney, and now co-founding Rekiddle. She has a habit of identifying that the accepted framing of a problem is wrong, then rebuilding it around what the evidence actually shows.
She brings that same instinct to [ WORK in PROGRESS ]: what does this actually tell us, and what does that mean for what you do next.
If that sounds like the kind of rigour you're looking for, come and talk to us.
