“Stuart has a natural authentic talent as an MC
He combines attention to detail, with a great dose of humour and professionalism.
Any event is in safe hands with Stuart at the helm.”
Lesley Everett
President of the Global Speakers Federation 2013-2014
“Stuart’s played a major part in all aspects of the Tesco Bank General Insurance induction programme. He was part of the ‘pitch’ team that won the work; he developed a significant element of the content and then was one of four key team members who co-delivered a train-the-trainer programme for 80 Huntswood trainers enabling them to run the induction workshops. Throughout the six-week roll out period, Stuart has been on hand as a subject matter expert, providing support and guidance to the Huntswood training teams in Glasgow and Newcastle as they roll out the induction programme to Tesco Bank Customer Service Representatives (CSRs) and Team Leaders. During this time he also found time to write and deliver a Complaints Handling Workshop for key members of the Tesco Bank team. Immediately prior to the centres opening for business in October 2010, Stuart is providing coaching, guidance and advice to CSRs and Team Leaders in Model Office. All material developed by Stuart has been tailored to meet the needs of a company that is driven by values and which wants to be seen as ‘different’ from other high street banks. Stuart is a great person to work with; he understands what clients need and then gets on with delivering a high quality solution. He sees opportunities not problems and as a result is highly regarded by both Huntswood and Tesco Bank.”

”Stuart is an extremely engaging trainer, able to connect with his clients and delegates and all levels. His enthusiasm and motivation is infectious and helps deliver results time after time. Excellent in his own right, Stuart is also able to manage large and complex teams of specialists in challenging environments. A pleasure to work with – I full recommend Stuart and endorse his ability to affect change and improvement in any organisation.”

Contact Centre Manager, Tristar Worldwide
“I would only be too willing to recommend Stuart, for his professional and knowledgeable approach to every business challenge I have seen him tackle, and also for his gregarious and personable nature. While supporting Stuart as a client of Thomson NETg’s, he devised and exectuted an employee engagement campaign to tackle a very tough business environment, which had high staff attrition rates and low discretionary employee behaviour, into what became a high performance team. Stuart and his team were able to show demonstrable results of increased profitablility, lower attrition rates and higher sales volumes. He and his team won national plaudits as result of this work. More recently, I have seen Stuart ‘MC’ a number of high calibre business events and I’ve heard testimonials regarding his “life changing” coaching and training sessions”
Malcolm Dundas
Senior Learning Consultant, Thomson NETg / Skillsoft
“Stuart is an excellent facilitator whose style is both engaging and thought provoking. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Stuart on a number of projects, designing and delivering a variety of development programmes in the areas of team building, leadership development, relationship management and customer service, within the financial services sector. I very much look forward to working with Stuart in the future and would have no hesitation in recommending him for similar projects.”
Tracy McLeod

“He is the best sales training consultant I know, not only does he know sales, he knows how to train it at every level and also how sales integrates into an organisation at a strategic level. This would be impressive if this was all Stuart did, but the range of training experience Stuart has is far broader than just the sales environment.

“Hi Stuart, Just a note to thank you for a successful team day on Friday. The feedback from the day is very positive and everyone found the day very worthwhile. I think everyone got something from the day and we all learned a bit more about each other. Thanks very much for all your help. I hope we get to work together again at some point in the future. Regards Ian”
