Testimonials
JCT Design & Build Contract 2016 – Practical Training
Just a quick note to say how pleased we were with the way you delivered the training yesterday – many thanks for coming all the way to Cornwall to see us.
Fantastic course – really pleased it worked so well and great to have the course in-house, which made it more relevant as we were able to discuss and relate it to our own issues.
Risk Management
I would like to thank you again for delivering the Risk Management workshop on Tuesday. I always imagined risk to be an area which requires a large team of analysts working around the clock pulling out their hair, but your workshop has broken down that daunting thought and showed it can be implemented easily into projects.
It was a very beneficial session and has provided me with a comprehensive insight into tackling risk. Your workshop was well structured, practical and informative, enabling me to absorb the information and apply it to the dummy project.
NEC3 Training
Nigel was excellent, by far the best trainer I’ve experienced! Well paced and very understanding.
Partnering Conference, Copenhagen
Nigel, thank you so much for your performance last week. You did a great job, and several people specifically noted your part as the highlight of the conference.
I would very much enjoy to learn even more on the topic.
NEC Option 3 Update
Really great, relevant and informative. Scored 10 as I can’t see how you could have improved it.
NEC4 ECC
Massive thanks for the NEC contracts training session you delivered yesterday. So privileged to have had the chance to listen to you. Given the wealth of knowledge passed on, I wish the session was recorded … I hope I will remember all the gems that have been kindly shared. I hope there will be more future opportunities to learn from you.
