Beyond Off-the-Shelf: Training That Drives ROI

Our values mean we don’t deliver “off-the-shelf” training. It rarely gives you the return on investment your hard-earned money deserves. Our understanding of you, your business culture and skills needs for going on your growth journey are crucial to delivering skills based learning with your team.

Gaining CIPD qualifications in 2002, Paul has used those skills gained to design impactful training aligned with business goals during his time growing a large SME food supplier and with his own clients ever since.

Strengthening our team over recent years has meant we also bring a range of experiences from Training, Education and Corporate backgrounds. That diversity of perspectives and experiences means we can bring to you first class design and facilitation of your training projects, aligning your investment in upskilling your team with achievement of strategic business growth goals.

We are keen to hear from business owners who want to invest in training and get right to the heart of what the business needs in terms of new skills.

We work with those business owners to design and deliver the training needed and to create value quickly. Here are some examples of business training projects which have been delivered to previous clients and proved to have a positive impact on business growth:

I met Paul through the Northern Mentoring Programme. At first I was dubious and worried about talking about myself on a one to one basis but from the first session I got on so well with Paul that I couldn’t shut up! As General Manager I have come up against a number of tricky situations, from HR issues, to business growth and change. I lacked confidence in my own abilities and questioned everything! Chatting with Paul, who has no affiliation with my business, has given me the confidence to stand by my decisions and develop new ones. I would recommend mentoring to anyone as I really have found it invaluable; and working with Paul has given me so much more confidence in my abilities as a General Manager. So much so that I have decided to continue working with Paul through his own company, Scale-Ability. I look forward to implementing all the ideas for the business over the coming months and years!

Paul was a great coach match for me – huge industry knowledge and always asking the right questions to keep me accountable. ​

His advice made a huge impact on my business and I would highly recommend him if you are looking for someone to point you in the right direction!
