Jeremy Scuse BSc Hons. FIOD MHR
I have always been interested in what makes people tick. My career started with a degree in Psychology and then 25 years in senior international marketing, followed by 10 years setting up my own companies and acting as a Non Executive Director for entrepreneurs. I accredited as a Mediator with CEDR in 2003 and set up Catalyst Mediation in 2005. We have helped people to resolve many different commercial, IPR, workplace, estate, partnership and shareholder disputes. I coach, train, lecture, share skills and give demonstrations of communication, negotiation, early dispute resolution and mediation to councils, HR staff, legal firms, their clients, mediators, in fact anyone I can persuade to sit still for long enough.
