What people have said

'I think you have done a brilliant job for the BBA.'

Hanne Christensen, Web Manager, British Bankers' Association

'Feedback about the course that you and Malcolm delivered for us has been unanimously positive and enthusiastic. The tremendous difference that attending the course has made is evident in the quality of first drafts and in a new willingness to take on board our comments. In other contexts, such as drafting print articles, we've also noticed a positive impact. Authors have tightened up their writing and clearly are now thinking more about their readers than before.'

John Rieger, Content editor (web), Solicitors Regulation Authority

'I've had some excellent feedback from everyone. Apparently the team were still talking about the course content in the taxi and came up with a strategy for implementing those ideas while delayed at the airport. An outstanding achievement!'

Helen Baker, R&D Customer Solutions Manager, Sage (UK) Ltd

'The course exceeded my expectations. Hardly anything was not of direct relevance. It will give our whole team a great common platform on which to build.'

After a bespoke course for AXA Sun Life the Intranet Manager said:

'It was extremely useful and left me with some very clear thoughts on how I could apply the guidelines provided. By giving people from internal communications, IT and training backgrounds the chance to hear each other's comments, it also brought home the need to understand each other's requirements which was very valuable. All in all, an excellent result!'
