Working with us.

At KERRNEL our purpose is:
To bottle business brilliance,
so it can be shared, scaled and sustained.

It’s why we get up in the morning and do what we do.

We work best in collaboration with clients who are passionate about the businesses they own and lead - and in making a difference over the long term.

We are completely cross-sector but have extensive expertise in B2B, service oriented organisations.

Expertise, not ego.

Advice grounded in experience and understanding, not posturing.

Partnership and positive challenge.

We collaborate, and we push when it matters.

Clarity and straight talking.

Ideas explained simply, without the jargon.

Actionable advice, not death by PowerPoint.

Practical steps you can use immediately.

Made different.

I’m Jo, the Founder and CEO of KERRNEL.

I’ve spent over 25 years working at the intersection of brand, strategy and communications, helping organisations articulate who they are, why they exist, and where they’re heading.

I founded KERRNEL to bring big consultancy expertise in a smaller, more personal package - combining the rigour and strategic depth of large firms with the agility, warmth and straight-talking advice of an independent.

I work best with founders, partners and leadership teams who care deeply about their business, but sometimes struggle to express what makes it special.

Together, we find the clarity and language that aligns teams, attracts the right customers, and unlocks growth.
