Welcome to fuchsiablue
Since 2006, we have acted as thinking partner, change agent, coach and facilitator to nearly 200 public, private and third sector businesses with ambitious change agendas. From rethinking strategy, to redesigning operations; from rebuilding teams, to coaching individuals, we work with people to make change stick.
Our work is niche. We offer human-centered, creative, impactful, transformation work for individuals and organisations. We get called when things get gnarly and calm heads, good analysis and practical solutions are required.
About us
What We Do:
We focus on people when others focus on process.
We help organisations and leaders navigate change in a way that builds resilience, not resistance.
Through coaching, facilitation, straight-talking conversations and creative practices, we make transformation human-centered and therefore sustainable
We are dedicated to helping businesses thrive in a competitive marketplace, bringing a wealth of experience and industry expertise to provide insights and solutions strategies that drive results.

Meet our Founder
“I love working at the messy edges of change in organisations.
For over 25 years, I’ve been working in rooms where the stakes are high and leaders or teams are stuck. This is where I work best. I bring a cool head, sharp thinking, deep listening and a call for action. All with a good dose of Scottish pragmatism and humour.
I’m rigorous in my practice, always reflecting and refining what fuchsia blue offers to deliver the best outcomes for clients. With an MSc in Organisational Change and a Master Coach Practitioner Award from APECS, I understand resistance, resilience and brilliance in people and systems. This allows me to plan and intervene successfully to bring change into being with clients.
I’m not just known for what I do, but how I do it - with heart, curiosity, creativity and purpose.
I’m excited about this next evolution of the business, as we step confidently into this time of uncertainty and opportunity.”

What our clients say
Julie was my coach for 6 months. I can highly recommend her. Her relaxed and personal approach created a safe environment where we could discuss important aspects of my life head on. Conversation flowed.
I came out of each meeting buzzing with ideas and especially towards the end of the 6 months a real clarity as to where I wanted to go. Most importantly she gave me confidence; I believe she really understood and ultimately believed in me.
— Rupert, General Counsel, Johnson Matthey
Julie really listened and understood what we needed. She offered alternative solutions and ideas, which took us in a better direction and faster.
Professional, but no bullsh*t, she was able to have some difficult conversations in a really positive way. She helped the senior team stay focussed and avoid red herrings or getting stuck.
— Emma CEO of Global not-for-profit
