The Founders

Neurodivergent-led. Twenty years in the work.

Rich and Charlie Ferriman — father and son — founded Neurodiversity Global to do the hard, human work of making neuroinclusion real. They still deliver the majority of workshops, discovery calls and client engagements personally.

More than 30 years of industry experience, including more than 20 years in senior leadership and extensive specialist neurodiversity delivery.

More than 30,000 people reached through workshops, webinars, conferences and organisation wide events, with an average facilitator rating of 9.7 out of 10 from more than 3,000 feedback responses.

Our founders have delivered sessions attended by people from more than 800 organisations.

ADHDNEURO Framework Creator

Charlie Ferriman

Gen Z Specialist & Co-Founder

Charlie created the NEURO framework and brings a distinct Gen Z perspective to NDG's work. He is the world's youngest neurodiversity-in-work trainer.

Drawing on his lived experience of ADHD and his work with organisations, leaders and younger professionals, Charlie explores how neurodivergence, generational change and workplace expectations intersect.

His sessions help organisations understand the experiences of younger neurodivergent employees, with a focus on communication, trust, performance, progression and retention.

What you actually get

Not a consultancy. A partnership.

Three things every NDG engagement runs on. If any of them miss, we have not done our job.

Lived experience is the starting point

Every engagement is delivered or designed by someone neurodivergent. Not consultants describing a condition from the outside — frameworks built from the inside out.

Direct access to the founders

You are not handed off to a junior trainer after the sales call. Rich delivers the majority of workshops personally. Charlie brings the Gen Z lens nobody else authentically can.

Multi-cohort, healthcare sector

"Rich's ability to share lived experience has helped our teams truly understand neurodiversity — not just as a concept, but as something deeply personal and human. We've seen a real shift in how our staff approach conversations around neurodiversity."
