# Blue Turtle Coaching and Mentoring Services
Blue Turtle Coaching and Mentoring Services, based in Guildford, is led by Steve Messenbird, a life coach and managing director with over 33 years' experience in people leadership. The business specialises in supporting organisations and individuals navigating significant change through expert coaching and mentoring.
Steve's background is exceptionally strong. He spent 20 years as Global Customer Service Director for a FTSE 100 leisure company, where he transformed a seven-person London team into four global centres across London, Sydney, Florida and Hamburg, growing annual sales from £3.9 million to over £57 million. Prior to this, he ran a successful petrol station chain, where he developed his philosophy that effective, productive and happy teams are fundamental to business success.
What distinguishes Blue Turtle is Steve's real-world operational expertise combined with his coaching credentials. Rather than theoretical coaching, clients benefit from someone who has built and managed high-performing teams at scale across multiple continents. He focuses on unlocking individual potential, aligning shared values and goals, and creating self-managed teams that deliver exceptional results.
The business serves mid to large organisations struggling with team productivity, engagement and remote working challenges, alongside individuals seeking career development and progression. Steve's approach emphasises creating a fun, recognition-focused working environment that builds loyalty and drives measurable outcomes—as evidenced by recent client results including 15% productivity increases and 22% improvements in staff engagement scores.
