People, Purpose and Process
Derridale has worked with organisations across Australia and the Pacific, from regional businesses through to large-scale resource and infrastructure projects.
Clients span mining, energy, construction, manufacturing, education, and professional services.
The work is led by founders Paul and Ryl Gardner.
Paul brings more than 40 years’ experience in senior HR and industrial relations roles across major projects and operations. He focuses on turning strategy into practical leadership action and helping people address issues early and directly.
Ryl brings over 30 years’ experience across corporate, government, and education sectors. She works closely with leaders to build capability, strengthen culture, and support long-term performance.
Together, they bring a practical, experienced perspective to every engagement.
The focus is consistent. Improve performance in a way that lasts.
That includes:
-
Stronger leadership capability
-
Clear alignment between teams and business goals
-
Better communication and accountability
-
Measurable improvements in productivity and culture
Clients often say the same thing. The work is clear, direct, and grounded in real experience.
Derridale does not rely on theory alone. The value comes from structure, experience, and consistent follow-through.
“The Personal Peak Performance Coaching Program sharpened our leaders’ focus and strengthened team culture”.
