"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."
John Sharkey, Head of Management Training - Mercia Group Ltd

ICAEW

"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.

Freeth Cartwright

"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."
Philippa Dempster, Head of Commercial Services, Freeth Cartwright.

"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."
