July

 July became a busy month as we have been pitching for work with Servite Houses - one of the larger Housing Associations in the UK with just over 18,000 homes under management. We met Servite's head of O&D Tamara Grigulis at the Training and Development summit earlier in the year and Vince and Paul went to their London offices as part of the tender process to present a coaching programme to their selection panel. Full of enthusiasm and chocolate - we await the results of the design of a 6 month coaching programme for their 120 managers.

Meanwhile Andy Reid went out to Nuttals - a construction firm with whom he has worked in the past and discussed a management programme that they would like us to run. We also completed a pitch for a management development programme with Clarke Willmott a Bristol based law firm for whom we have run other programmes for in the past.

We are also working on a business survey that we will be looking to write over the next month or two on the impact of the recession on L&D.
