Testimonials

David and I worked together at Vinamul BV in his role as General Manager. We worked together on a project charged with delivering £ multi-million benefits through the implementation of Operational Excellence. David has a sharp, quick mind with a direct approach to people and coupled with a good sense of humour. He is a strong leader. Most importantly of all – he is fun to work with. David Sturman Supply Chain Director Europe Synthomer  {
I worked with David at Acheson and he was an excellent team leader, giving support where needed but allowing people the space to do their work. He put people in roles that were appropriate for them and wasn't scared to move people if that was the right decision. His leadership was an inspiration to the team empowering them to do what they believed was correct in the knowledge that he would guide them to achieve not only the company goals but also ensure they satisfied their own personal needs connected with getting satisfaction from doing a job well. The result was the team grew in confidence and achieved results far beyond their expectations. I endorse David as a great team motivator and leader. Ray Bungay Acheson Colliods{

I am pleased that I worked with David, because he demonstrated great value to the team as well as for me personally. Fred Spandauw Marketing Manager Acheson Colloids{

Good and gripping introduction into what "customer service" really means. Sparks thoughts about how to introduce "customer delight" in daily job. From my point of view the content as well as the way the content was delivered was very valuable and effective. Takara Bio, Paris{

We all found the course most informative, and added to our skills when dealing with "awkward"  buyers and negotiating with existing clients.  The most important aspect was the way in which you got us all thinking and preparing for situations rather than just charging in and hoping for the best. I would have no hesitation in recommending you to other potential clients in the future. Mike Stevenson; UK Sales Director - Beardow Adams (Adhesives) Ltd{
