Our People

Tony Zarola (Managing Director) is the passion behind Zeal Solutions. He is Chartered Occupational Psychologists and has strong links with the University of Nottingham and University College London.

Zeal Solutions has a dedicated support team based in the West Midlands, South East and in the South West but provides service delivery across the UK through the use of its 'high talent' associate network. All associates are qualified to a minimum of MSc level, have at least 3 to 5 years business experience and are chosen for their ability to engage with our clients in a way that excites, informs and adds value. All associates undergo a selection process that ensures that we can support their unique skills as it is through selecting and supporting high quality people that our clients will benefit.

Passionate about the role of psychology, Zeal also has a board of advisors comprising leading edge thinkers, doers and communicators in their field. Zeal Solutions also utilises an independent ethics committee through which research protocols must be passed before initiation. 

So what do others think?

We asked our clients to summarise our people. The five most common comments were:

• They know their stuff 
• They are really passionate about what they do
• They don’t confuse you with technical jargon
• They are committed to making a difference
• They care about your problems

All our psychologists are formidable business practitioners as well as active researchers. They are all driven by the need to make significant contributions to their respective fields of expertise and to the world of work. This combination of experience helps ensure that our people are always at the cutting edge and our clients benefit from the latest thinking and developments.

Q: So what do we look for when we recruit a new member of the team?

A: We look for someone who is aligned to our values and someone we and our clients will want to work with time and time again.
