Our Story

Established in 1992, we’ve established an enviable track record, providing learning and development solutions to a diverse range of clients, comprising of; multi-nationals, blue chip, public sector and SMEs.

Our team of experienced, skilled and committed learning & development professionals have a real passion for their work and ensure that our clients’ requirements have been completely understood, delivered and measured.

Our Approach

Our partnership approach involves working directly with the Client through the life cycle of a learning and development initiative from the Identification of Needs and Diagnostics, through to the Design and onto the Delivery, whilst maintaining a clear focus on continuous Evaluation at each stage.

Our philosophy is that training should be engaging, enabling and effective.

Engaging - head, hand and heart in a memorable experiential learning event
Enabling - the transfer of new skills and enhanced behaviours directly into the workplace
Effective - in identifying and delivering against individual, team and organisational needs.

Using a blend of theory, interactive group exercises, reflective and collaborative learning, case studies and e-learning (where applicable), we look at a combination of skills and behaviours required to increase; competence, confidence and knowledge. All of which are designed to make people more effective in their role – whatever that may be.

Our experience is reflected by our client base, comprising of; multi-nationals, blue chip companies, public sectors and SMEs.

"Staff development, is an often overlooked business investment and it’s more important to your staff, than you probably realise. Not only is it likely that you will spend more on staff turnover than it costs to invest in development opportunities, it’s proven that it increases; loyalty, productivity, drives higher engagement and results in happier, more empowered employees, who will use their new skills to drive company success.
