The Work Advance Team

Work Advance is a joint enterprise, between Lesley Giles and Heather Carey, established and run as a collaborative network, that can be agile and responsive to clients changing needs. 


Through our careers we have built up extensive experience working with a variety of clients including Government across the UK (BEIS, DfE, DWP, MHCLG and the Cabinet Office); Devolved Administrations; Local Authorities; and LEPs.  


We also work with businesses large and small; industry and professional bodies; trade unions; think tanks; and international bodies such as the OECD.

Our Network of Leading Experts

Through long-established partnerships, we bring together the very best analytical and practical experience to provide positive and lasting benefits to the future world of work. 


We work with a large number of experts in the UK and internationally, who form part of a wider Associates Network, which means we can access a wide range of expertise. This network enables us assimilate teams that offer the most relevant and specialist knowledge to the task in hand. 


If you would like more information and/or to become part of our associate network please contact us at info@workadvance.co.uk
