Our Story

Curium Solutions was founded in 2008 as a People First Transformation consultancy, with operations in the UK, USA, and Canada. Experienced in delivering major global programmes, we saw an opportunity to focus on transformation in a way that hadn’t been fully explored before – by prioritising people.

With a strong background in psychology and neuroscience, Curium launched its Culture & Capability practice, integrating mindset and behaviour change into its transformation services. At the time, the idea of blending neuroscience with business transformation was unconventional, but clients quickly embraced it, especially those struggling with frontline stress and resistance to change.

Since then, Curium has been driven by its vision to become the most recommended transformation partner in the UK, grounded in core values of “People First, Keep It Simple, and Make It Real.” Curium’s unique approach, combining hands-on delivery with cultural and capability-building services, has delivered extraordinary results, helping clients achieve their strategic goals faster.

Today, Curium works with some of the most iconic organisations in the world (including NASA, the FBI, and Merlin Entertainment) – evidence of how far their people-first philosophy has taken them, making a lasting, positive difference in every engagement.

Where Did We Begin?

We spent a number of weeks building a proposal to present to a Senior Director at Lloyds Bank, to enable them visualise the new heights they could achieve through a transformation project.

We worked with them, running some incredible programmes in an organisation that went through one of the worlds biggest mergers when Lloyd’s and HBOS was crashed together by the government in 2008.

Our culture programme eventually spanned tens of thousands, described by one leading consultancy as ‘best practice to run a people-based intervention alongside a tough delivery agenda.’

Introducing Neuroscience

Today, mindset and culture are usually found at the top of the priorities list for most companies, however, in 2008 when Curium was founded, they were not.

Many businesses are still facing challenges with getting this balance right.

The obvious place for Curium to focus was in ‘transformation’ given the founders had spent years delivering major programmes across the globe.

As an avid reader of psychology and brain science, James led the way in establishing the ‘People Solutions’ part of Curium. Understanding the mix of running complex programmes while also delivering neuroscience-based education and entertaining workshops, he helped clients embed this from the front line, where dealing with stress was hugely ignored.

The results were astonishing. Our people first approach and workshops tailored to your business needs have been overwhelmingly successful in the last 16 years.

Don't just take our word for it

“I can’t sing Curium’s praises enough. In just a week we saw major improvements in our service levels and, in three months, we were performing 100% better than before. Not only that, but they helped show me how to lead a team and get the best out of everyone, and I’ve been given a promotion as a result.”

“Highly professional but also very approachable and even more importantly non-judgemental. Curium created a safe space for open conversations and never made anyone feel uncomfortable about their competence or the position the business found itself in.”

“As a company, there’s no way we could have achieved the things we’ve done without them – they turned an IT project where people were fearful of change to a business transformation programme where we feel empowered, in control, and confident in change.”

“Mark has approached this in a way that has been both extremely successful but also very sustainable. He has been able to turn things around and develop senior members of the team, leading to a noticeably different way of working and engaging with the team.”
