Earlier Mentorship Foundations
“Through our our work in dance & drama education we helped young performers broaden horizons and instill resilience.”
Before Tapping Frog, Annarie and Simon ran a dance & drama school that laid the foundations for today’s work. Through the associated performance group, Annarie Dance, young performers competed in dance competitions in Italy, Spain, and the Czech Republic - enriching their experience and instilling resilience through performance.
Technology Leadership & Mission‑Critical Systems
Across financial services, utilities and global operations, we have led the design, development and stewardship of enterprise systems that underpin regulated, high‑volume business processes. Our work spans architecture, product management & development, operational compliance, and the provision of fractional technology leadership to SME's.
- Directed multi‑year evolution of a proprietary hedge‑fund services platform used across global jurisdictions.
- Achieved over $1M annual savings by replacing third‑party systems with in‑house modules.
- Led cloud migration into managed data-centres and AWS with resilience, failover and DR patterns aligned to enterprise SLAs.
- Delivered bespoke systems and infrastructure for logistics, utilities and creative production companies.
- Introduced operational tooling, monitoring and support processes that strengthened day‑to‑day resilience.
- Provided hands‑on engineering leadership alongside strategic oversight.
Business Continuity & Organisational Resilience
We bring over a decade of continuity leadership across multiple jurisdictions, including hurricane and earthquake response, data‑centre migrations and crisis communications. Our approach blends strategic planning with practical, scenario‑based exercising that prepares teams for real‑world conditions.
- Led continuity and disaster recovery programmes for hedge‑fund services across Cayman Islands, UK, North America, and EU operations.
- Designed and executed disaster recovery exercises validated under audit and regulatory review.
- Developed continuity modules within enterprise software to support crisis communications and preparedness.
- Embedded resilience into product roadmaps, operational processes and change governance.
Early Years Movement‑Based Learning
Our early‑years work uses structured movement sessions to support attention, executive function and early learning behaviours. Developed originally in a Caribbean early‑years setting and now adapted for UK contexts, the programme blends regulation and creative expression.
- Improved on‑task behaviour through routine 10–20 minute movement sessions.
- Embedded EF‑aligned activities such as rule‑switching, inhibition games and sequencing tasks.
- Developed teacher‑visible transfer tools to support classroom readiness.
- Produced session templates, observation rubrics and measurement tools aligned to school practice.
SEN Movement‑Therapy & Creative Regulation
In UK special‑school settings (ages 11–19), we apply movement‑therapy principles to support emotional regulation, communication and learning access. The approach is designed to be audit‑friendly, developmentally attuned and adaptable for diverse sensory and motor needs.
- Improved regulation and transition times through predictable co‑regulation routines.
- Enhanced communication markers via mirroring, emotion‑mapping and expressive movement tasks.
- Integrated EF rehearsal through stop/go, sequencing and rule‑switching activities.
- Aligned measurement with school tracking systems (on‑task sampling, communication counts, motor checklists).
Research‑Aligned Curriculum & Professional Development
Our education frameworks are grounded in peer‑reviewed research across movement, executive function, embodied cognition and neurodevelopment. We translate this evidence into practical, teacher‑ready tools that support inclusion, creativity and resilience in classrooms.
- Developed evidence‑informed curriculum modules for early years and SEN settings.
- Supported schools in embedding movement‑based learning into daily routines.
- Produced reviewable case studies demonstrating measurable impact.
