Keith Hewitt - Operations Director of Pelican Rouge Limited

Junior and middle manager development programme delivered as 1 day workshops

I am writing to thank you for an outstanding course. You clearly put a great deal of effort and hard work into your preparation for our 2 day outward bound event. From the booking of hotel rooms and meals to the organisation of activities, instructors and timetables - every part of the event ran smoothly.
Our team's participation in the exciting and professionally facilitated activities really brought out the best in them. Many cannot believe that they have now personally completed abseiling, caving and amazingly, even a suspended gorge crossing.
The theory input from you on the management learning and development programme was particularly relevant, and related well to the practical and carefully constructed facilitated activities. This meant that our team had a chance to practice what they had learnt; and through the constructive feedback sessions start developing competence in the various management skills required of them in the future. I was particularly impressed by the rapport that was quickly formed between our management trainees and you, which will undoubtedly develop further as you mentor their continued development and growth.

Jim Turner has facilitated many recruitment selection centres for our company. I have always been impressed with the detailed and innovative content which he has put together which allows us to consistently select the best people. Jim delivers the selection centre professionally, with humour, and in a manner where the candidates enjoy and learn from the experience. Through his facilitation skills we are able to get a greater insight into the individuals personality and skills which assists us to make that all important choice.

One day competency based recruitment assessment centre's which we designed and have now facilitated over 50 times

The courses were very well written and both thorough and entertaining in their delivery. My team were kept engrossed and involved throughout and were constantly encouraged to participate and learn from their past experiences. Most importantly, the Senior Managers developed both confidence and competence in the subjects and were able to quickly utilise the skills gained which assisted greatly in developing KCI's professional HR practices.
