Here’s some of the feedback that we have received over the years:

Davis Mason
National Trust of England
LIFE Project Manager

There has definitely been a shift in people’s perceptions and attitudes to what we are trying to achieve. Also from here an appreciation of the value of this process. Listening to people, allowing them to be heard and have a real input into the decisions we are taking and information we are putting out has generated a positive feeling from those involved.

Steve Avery
New forest National Park
Director of Strategy and Planning

I would whole-heartedly recommend them to anyone seeking to resolve conflict and to better understand different viewpoints.

Mark Reed
Aberdeen Centre for Environmental Sustainability
Senior Lecturer

I just wanted to thank you for all your hard work and the amazing job you did under a very challenging brief! I couldn’t have wished for things to go better but more than anything it was just great being able to trust you to do a great job and keep everything under control.

Adrian Clarke
National Trust

I have never seen such expert facilitation before – the level of detail that went into the pre-planning to ensure workshops and meetings went smoothly was staggering – and highly effective.

Rosemary Selling
Stronger Kent Communities

The Away Day has been very helpful in developing the strategic plan for SKC and has given the plan new life! I would be very happy to recommend you to other colleagues.

Steven Husbands

I had a blast and this was definitely one of the best, if not the best, workshops I have attended. Absolutely the best facilitators and facilitation process to date.

Jovo Pokrajac

It was fantastic, mostly because everyone was included. I would like to participate in training like this again if ever I had the chance – phenomenal experience!
