Luke Ambler (Andy’s Man Club & Ambler Training): when compliance meets compassion 

“Citation has been a game changer for us. Their expertise gives us the peace of mind to focus on what truly matters – supporting people and growing our businesses.”  

Luke Ambler, founder of Andy’s Man Club and CEO of Ambler Training 

The challenge

With two impactful organisations under his belt – Andy’s Man Club, a nationwide men’s mental health charity, and Ambler Training – Luke Ambler knows what it means to juggle leadership with purpose. But like many growing businesses, he found that the demands of staying on top of HR, Health & Safety and compliance were pulling his focus away rom the things that mattered most: his people and his mission. 

Luke explains: “We’re not experts in everything, and nor should we be. Sometimes the smartest thing a leader can do is outsource what’s taking your time and energy, so you can focus on your core purpose.” 

The support

Luke turned to Citation to take care of the essentials – without needing to bring in permanent staff. From onboarding to implementation, he particularly highlights the team’s personal touch: “The service stood out. The people we spoke to weren’t just knowledgeable – they really got us.” 

Bringing together HR, Health & Safety and compliance services all at once might sound daunting, but with Citation’s help, Luke was able to integrate everything smoothly across both organisations. 

And with Atlas – the one-stop-shop for managing training, absence, documentation and more – his teams now have everything they need in one place. “It makes life so much simpler. It’s all there: holidays, sick days, training – it’s easy.” 

The result

With Citation by his side, Luke says one thing has stood out above all: peace of mind. 

“Whether it’s performance issues, documentation or cyber security, having Citation means I know we’re covered. We shopped around, and it wasn’t just about the price – it was the service, the support, the expertise.” 

And the impact? “For me, it comes down to one word – safety. Citation gives us confidence that we’re doing things right, and the space to keep growing.”
