About Kelloch
Practical help for organisations doing difficult work.
Kelloch supports charities, CICs and social enterprises to recruit well, resolve organisational problems and build stronger capability.
The person behind Kelloch
Kelloch is led by Mark O’Hare.
Mark has spent more than 25 years around employability, recruitment, programme delivery, people management and third-sector organisations. That has included frontline work, managing teams, building services and dealing with organisational problems that rarely fit neatly into one job description.
He starts with what is actually happening, gives a direct view of the problem and agrees the smallest useful intervention. Responsibility stays with the organisation. Kelloch brings structure, challenge and practical follow-through.
Why Kelloch exists
Good organisations can still get stuck.
A vacancy drags on. A manager carries too much. A board circles the same decision. A team needs support that connects to the work rather than theory. Kelloch was built to help organisations move those problems forward with clear thinking, useful action and proportionate fees.
Practical outputs
Every piece of work should leave people with a clearer decision, stronger process or usable next step.
Clear scope
You know what Kelloch will do, what it will cost and where your organisation remains responsible.
How Mark works
Clear scope. Direct judgement. Useful follow-through.
Start with the pressure
Explain what keeps happening and who it affects. You do not need to diagnose or package the problem first.
Agree the intervention
Kelloch sets out what it will do, what remains with your organisation, the outputs, timing and full fee.
Check it held
Follow-up focuses on what changed, what did not and whether another practical step is needed.

Experience
Sector knowledge without pretending every organisation is the same.
Mark brings more than 25 years of experience across recruitment, employability, programme delivery, operations, people management and organisational support.
That matters because third-sector problems rarely sit neatly inside one department. A recruitment issue can expose weak role design. A management problem can become a delivery risk. A funding opportunity can fail because the operating model is not ready.
The work starts with the actual pressure point, not a pre-written consultancy package.
