nature of our business, and the people, and do their best to customise 
interventions best suited to the company’s needs. In doing so, the 
delegates are able to identify with the learning imparted as the examples 
or scenarios provided are those which they work with on a day to day 
basis. This works well towards making the learning experience mutually 
beneficial and the delegates find it easier to apply their learning back in a 
practical work based environment.”
