Who are we?

Top Performance Consulting Ltd (TPC) was founded by Professor Graham Jones and Dr Tara Jones in 2010 to help organisations, teams and individuals to deliver what we know a lot about – performance. Our core knowledge and experience emanates from working with the world’s best performers, including Olympic and World Champions, senior leaders in some of the world’s leading organisations and elite military leaders.

We apply our knowledge and experience to provide tailored interventions for organisations that are striving to make top performance achievable and sustainable. Whether it be individuals, teams, or the organisation, TPC has the experience, know-how and care to enable people to get the best out of themselves.

Where required, we call upon associate consultants with different backgrounds, expertise and experiences in performance development, all of whom provide the highest level of service expected by clients of TPC.

Dr Tara Jones also has numerous applied and scientific publications in leadership and performance.
