Both UK nationals with more than 25 years of experience in customer service centre management and consultancy, including senior roles in the financial and third sectors respectively; business partners Luke and Kelly relocated to Malta in 2015 when the opportunity arose and what a great decision it was.
MadeYou has its roots in Luke Todd and Co which offered consultancy services to business and organisations in Malta and the UK. Major growth followed when the business won a contract to lead eBay’s customer experience units. This involved optimising customer service centres, maximising efficiencies, profiling Net Promoter Score analytics, feeding fraud prevention strategy to the board and, in fact, providing all-round customer support consultancy services.
Through some adept promotion of this work on social media (thanks to Kelly’s fantastic Neuro Linguistic Programming skills), other firms began to show interest in Luke and Kelly managing their social media accounts. Island Sanctuary was signed on and Social Smile was born.
Luke and Kelly then established United Business Training, playing to their strengths as certified business coaches and trainers. A contract with Tipico kick-started this phase of the business, by delivering training sessions to their employees.
Luke’s background and approach to developing talent brought about significant operational change to the organisation, while Kelly, a qualified psychotherapist, concentrated on delivering behavioural change through bespoke training courses and one-to-one sessions.
In 2018 Luke and Kelly decided to bring together all of their services under one brand and MadeYou™ was born. The MadeYou™ portfolio now includes:
Kelly’s professional background is varied to say the least. Having worked with start-ups through to international financial institutions such as City Group, managing teams in mergers and acquisitions. After going back to university as a mature student, he qualified as a psychotherapist and then as a Master of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP). He moved into the charity sector and, before moving permanently to Malta in 2014, he held a senior role responsible for multiple locations and over 400 staff in the health sector. Today, Kelly is utterly passionate about how businesses can attract, retain and grow their talent. He’s also totally obsessed with digital design!
Luke has a strong background working for some of the world’s largest companies such as eBay and Aviva Insurance. His primary focus has been on Customer Services and being responsible for contact centres of up to 1000 people. He also has a remarkable track record for low staff attrition and developing a powerful employee branding culture to attract new talent. Nowadays, Luke focuses on strategic development for a variety of clients – whether it’s in talent development, customer experience or C-Level coaching. Luke has an approach to developing talent that engages on a totally different level, bringing about significant behavioural change to drive careers and business potential.

Erika kicked off her career as a graphic designer working for one of the largest foodstuff importers and distributors in Malta. Her piqued interest in digital marketing, combined with her creative and organisational skills, has led her to venture into the wonderful world of digital marketing- with social media as her prime focus.
