THE PATHS WE CHOOSE IN BUSINESS ARE
OFTEN THE CATALYST TO OUR SUCCESS.
No two organisations are the same, the people that work there are different, think differently, operate and behave differently which makes up an organisations DNA and makes people their biggest asset and most unique selling point.

Tracy Fitzsimmons
Managing Director
With over 25 years experience within commercial sectors, I am very much in tune with business. Working at board level, I’ve managed large teams in various locations, from customer and client services to business operations and marketing. For the past six years I’ve worked closely with a team of consultants, crafting proposals, designing and delivering new management systems and presenting. I’m an IRCA qualified auditor for ISO9001 and work with companies on identifying areas for improvement, studying root causes and implementing new solutions. I constantly challenge myself to look at things differently and raise the bar.
Passionate about work, I bring infectious enthusiasm, steely determination and drive to my projects and my personal aim is always to go above and beyond – to exceed my client’s expectations. I massively enjoy working with people at all levels, I always welcome a new challenge and like to make a difference in helping companies and individuals to maximise their potential and achieve their goals.
A keen cyclist and runner, I’ve completed the London to Cambridge bike ride, two half-marathons and the London Marathon – raising money for charities is close to my heart. I’m also a petrol head and speed demon, I love motor sport and took part in the Club 100 Rookies Endurance Championship in 2015, racing in two-stroke 115cc karts with slicks. My family is key to my happiness, keeping me focused on the important things in life. I work closely with my local community being a Strategy Board Governor for a local Infant and Junior Federation. I enjoy world travel, embracing the experiences that different cultures and services bring.
Sarah Church
Managing Director
My 23 years experience in business consultancy has well positioned me to support organisations and individuals in achieving their goals in an effective, painless and creative way. Since 2003 I have been delivering learning and development solutions in subjects ranging from sales, business development, marketing, leadership, personal impact, HR and recruitment core competencies. During my journey I have had the pleasure of travelling the world, delivering programmes across a range of cultures – giving lectures, speeches and presentations on various business operational issues. From coaching individuals to facilitating senior leaders I relish connecting with people to engage and empower them to achieve more.
Life can be complicated enough: motivating and inspiring individuals in business shouldn’t be. That’s why I passionately believe and challenge people to think differently. Encouraging and guiding people to get the most out of relationships is key to open and assertive conversations. The old fashion method of talking face to face works wonders in today’s busy world of emails, text and blogs. In a nutshell – if things don’t go right…go left!
Due to my excess energy as a child I was encouraged from a young age to participate in as many sports as possible (in order to wear me out). These early experiences left a huge impression and sport has played a major part of my life and probably influenced my competitive nature and helped my successful sales career. The past has seen me qualifying to teach aerobics and personal training, creating and building a successful swim school for children and adults, charity bike rides and running the London Marathon. Its fair to say life outside business is usually spent with family and friends participating in some form of sport. I have a strong and healthy work life balance ethic that keeps my mind fresh and focused.
WHY WE DO IT
We get a kick out of helping people and improving organisations. Nothing gives us greater pride
than working with companies and individuals and seeing changes occur in behaviour and efficiencies.
We respect, admire and are inspired by each other, which is why we have formed Fifth Element Solutions.
LOVE OF THE JOB
We work hard, play hard. From catching waves on our body boards to locking ourselves in a room until the small hours to challenge the next proposal, we always ensure we have fun working together.
Life is too short not to enjoy what we do and it’s important to us both to work with people we trust and respect. With different skills and great humour, we complement each other’s business elements – we have a unique winning formula.
With similar personal values and a strong work ethic passed down from our parents we are now on the next exciting journey with our new company Fifth Element.
Well respected in our industries through drive and passion, we always start things with Why? Looking at the big picture we bring creative, logical and practical solutions to this ever-changing crazy world we live in. Above all, we totally enjoy it.
OUR STATS SO FAR
HOW WE DO IT
We work hard with you to understand not only project objectives but also the organisations
DNA, culture, little quirks, competitors and strengths including what makes you unique, looking at complex internal relationships and
issues. Once we are in your circle of trust and any assumptions have been reviewed and clarified, we then start working our magic.

Bringing a fresh approach we research and design new concepts for our clients to solve their unique problems. We don’t settle for “standard or off the shelf” designs as everyone is different. One size doesn’t fit all, if organisations are investing their time, money and energy in projects the solutions needs to be fit for purpose to exceed goals.
OUR MISSION… Applying common sense, logic and innovation to make our clients more productive, to ensure projects and programmes are delivered on time, within budget and essentialy to the highest possible standard in order to exceed their end goals and expectations.
OUR VISION… To sustain and enjoy life-long business relationships through consistent high performance.
