For three decades, Richard has been more than a consultant; he has been a steadfast partner in transformation. Armed with his deeply reflexive nature, a BSc in Business Economics and an MA in Management Learning, he has poured his expertise and heart into guiding small and medium sized businesses toward their own definitions of success.
As the founder and lead consultant of Vitalis, Richard is your principal point of contact and a dedicated advocate. He works alongside a carefully assembled team of supportive specialists, ensuring every client need is met not only with deep professionalism, but with genuine care. His philosophy is rooted in a powerful conviction: that human connection, kindness, and a shared vision are the ultimate catalysts for thriving organisations.
Richard is a rare blend of intellectual rigour and profound humanity. A tenacious, creative thinker, he moves seamlessly from strategic insight to practical implementation, developing systems that help businesses truly stand out. His true gift, however, lies in the meaningful connections he fosters. As a skilled facilitator, he builds understanding and helps transform the way people work together, co-creating the bedrock of trust upon which all lasting change is built.
Today, Richard's mission is clear: to champion a more compassionate and effective way of working. When not guiding clients, he fulfils his own vitality through writing, painting, and exploring the world's simple joys with his children and grandchildren.
Richard and his team are here to guide you. Together, they will help you fulfil your goals, personally and collectively, with a partnership that honours both your ambitions and your humanity.
Richard Maddrell - October 2025.
