TESTIMONIALS 

"Participating I found the trainer’s ability to be extremely good, one of the top 3 trainers I have ever encountered. I have attended quite a few training sessions over my 25-year working life."


Derek was brilliant. We received all round positive comments for staff. "...there is a real buzz around council, and everyone is energised and excited."


It is such a great experience; everyone wants him to come back. We are blessed to be able to have access to someone of such a high professional manner to help our staff not just get trained but engaged and excited. Much more than I could have hoped for.
