“We value PDWs professionalism, their ability to flex their approach to suit our culture and their responsiveness in supporting us not only with our large formal programmes but the informal personal interventions that are needed for individuals”

Martina Doyle-Turner, L&D Manager - Browne Jacobson Solicitors - May 2008


“The 360 degree feedback reviews we undertook recently where one of the most interesting and useful exercises we have ever carried out”.

Andrew Jones, Partner - HW, Chartered Accountants - May 2008



"I wanted to write to you to let you know how impressed I have been with the partner workshops PDW ran for us over the last few months. You managed to get a high level of buy in and gained excellent reviews from our partners. You came to us as a new supplier at the back end of last year and have quickly established yourselves and shown us what PDW can do. I am confident that our relationship will develop from strength to strength over the coming months and that we will evolve and broaden the work we do with you ongoing."

Carol King, Senior L&D Manager - Cooper Parry. April 2008


“We have been working with PDW as a key provider of learning and development programmes for our staff for the past 18 months. We have been developing and expanding our relationship with them both in terms of the breadth and the type of programmes we need, and they continue to deliver a high standard of work to us in both the design and the facilitation of their services. More recently, PDW have started to work with us strategically in supporting certain departments of our business with additional services and expertise and we are keen that this continues to deliver benefits for both parties”.

Holly Edwards, Training Manager - Freeth Cartwright LLP - September 2005.

“We appointed PDW to run some team development sessions with us and were delighted with the results. The delivery was full of energy and enthusiasm which really lifted and inspired the team. PDW also introduced some great tools for us to use going forward to remind us and reinforce the messages, so much so, that the ideas and the spirit has stayed with us and we have invited them back to continue our journey.”

Philippa Dempster, Head of Commercial Services, Freeth Cartwright LLP - October 2006.


"PDW delivered two workshops on 'Effective Business Development' for the Institute of Chartered Accountants West Midland region. Both of these events were first class, both in their content and the style in which they were presented. The consultant offered excellent advice and tips delivered in a friendly, relaxed and inter-active manner. I would have no hesitation in recommending PDW to others".

David Garrigan, Regional Events Manager - ICAEW West Midlands region - March 2007


“People Development Works has run several management development programmes for us over the last 12 months. With each programme they have demonstrated a professional and proactive approach that has generated a significant amount of positive feedback from the various attending delegates. They have taken time to understand our needs and the audience on each occasion, and have tailored the programme content and approach to suit, in a highly appropriate manner”
