"[What] could be seen as a fairly modest £20,000 project across the summer has elevated to the top priority and has been the catalyst for – and we use these words but they are genuine – transformational change within the college.
We’re looking at a million pounds worth of investment in the region for our businesses and we’re thrilled about it to be perfectly honest.

Client Testimonials
"Thank you for this morning, very insightful as always. You've instilled in me a confidence in the discovery process that has transformed how we approach product development and we are reaping the rewards of the creativity and innovation that comes with that. You have a unique way of bringing new clarity to things. It’s really very thought provoking."
“The project monitoring was amazing. We felt supported at every stage with quick and effective feedback. The support was done in a way that enabled us to progress freely with our research and innovation development, knowing that we also needed to deliver results. [Sean] has been an excellent sounding board.”
"Thank you so much for the time that you
spent with Nat and myself yesterday. I found our discussions brilliant,
encouraging and so helpful... You seemed to have an awareness straight away of
the issues and I found your comments and suggestions really positive. All that
I can say is that I felt much better about the challenges facing me after we
had spoken, so thank you very much."
"I’m so glad you’re going to hear Sean speak today. Never mind the A Team – he’s the A+ Team."
