Real people, real reviews.
  • Zara O’Reilly
    Undergraduate freelancer
    Graeme is a talented and inspiring individual, who guided me into learning about the world of freelancing and enterprise. As a fashion design student, I took a year out of my studies for placement year and it was the best decision I made. With the help of Graeme, I started up my own brand and have become so much more comfortable with using social media for promotion. Graeme was so helpful and continues to be even in my graduate year, he is always there to give some well needed advice.

    Graeme is super professional and very talented; his creative insight adds great value to our projects.
  • Mitch Abercrombie
    Undergraduate Founder, Tree Bark Films
    Graeme understands that there is no 'one size fits all' approach to enterprise, and that's what makes him such a valuable Enterprise Educator. Students of all backgrounds and disciplines arrive at the SHU Enterprise Sandwich Placement with big ideas, and Graeme gets right to the heart of those by figuring out the "why?" of each student, and each business.

    He opens doors for those he works with and inspires them while doing so. His guidance and advice have helped my business journey considerably throughout the course of this year so far, and I would recommend listening to what he has to say!

    I highly recommend Graeme Tidd as an outstanding academic advisor and business coach. His enthusiasm for what he does is truly infectious, and he has a remarkable ability to inspire those around him to push boundaries and constantly explore new ideas. Throughout my placement year with the Sheffield Hallam Enterprise Team, Graeme consistently encouraged me to explore new business ventures alongside expanding my freelancing, opening up countless opportunities that have been instrumental in shaping both my academic journey and career. His support, guidance, and belief in my abilities gave me the confidence to take on challenges I never thought possible. Anyone lucky enough to work with him will undoubtedly benefit from his insight, encouragement, and passion for fostering innovation.

  • Dr Chris Platts

    Graeme recently helped me in the development of a new website. This project was from scratch and I cannot recommend Graeme highly enough. He was willing to listen to my thoughts and ideas, offer his expert opinions on those ideas and work collaboratively to develop something I'm proud of. Graeme worked with me each step of the way and guided me on how the systems worked so now I am confident in the maintenance of my site. Graeme is a pleasure to work with.
