Our trainer was extremely flexible and accommodating to our needs as a group.” - Zoe Oakley “Great facilitator who was really positive, engaging and incredibly helpful. I really appreciated the extra time he spent finding things out for us in his own time when a question was asked that needed some further exploration.” - Kirsty Stubbs
