Management Training

We provide management training courses for all tiers of managers and leaders; ranging from individual delegates on our public courses, to bringing a bespoke management course in-house for your organisation.

Our management training courses can either be our own non-accredited programmes such as the popular First Line Manager course, through to a fully recognised qualification from the ILM (Institute of Leadership and Management).

Team Building

A successful company is always made up of successful teams. Teams that can work autonomously with a clearly defined set of goals, roles, vision, responsibility and culture will always reach for and achieve far greater success than a team that works just as a group of individuals.

Our team building solutions are individually built and geared towards teams at any level within an organisation, providing an independent and objective perspective to promote a common purpose, and developing skills which can be utilised straight away when back in the workplace.

Professional Customer Care

Professional customer care is all too frequently regarded as a token issue in most induction sessions for employees. Surprisingly, it is very rarely considered as a key priority, despite being essential for ensuring customer commitment.

Our professional customer care training increases confidence and improves capability for dealing with customers in all situations. This instils confidence in the minds of customers, and promotes a positive image of the company.

It was just what the doctor ordered, enabling our team to rise to the challenge of delivering our SignpostingHealth programme to 88 practices (to date) across Nottingham and Leeds. The high ratings and positive feedback received by our trainers is testament to both the skills of our team and to the quality of Phil’s training."

"The ILM Level 5 Coaching Programme is an excellent course for anyone involved with coaching. It teaches you theories and gives you practical experience of coaching. All felt very comfortable and I learnt lots of new skills. Thank you."

Archipelago Album

This is Phil’s first recorded album... called ‘Archipelago’.

It was recorded, produced and mixed at John Parr’s (famed for ‘St Elmo’s Fire’ and numerous pop songs and movie soundtracks in the ‘80s and ‘90s) intimate studio ‘Somewhere in Yorkshire’.

Each of the 9 tracks has its own distinctive character but there is a clear, unique signature across all of the compositions.

The album is ideal to have playing in the room or the car but equally merits being listened to as each piece has it’s own narrative.

The title track ‘Archipelago’ was inspired by the glorious islands off the coast of Argyle – which is definitely one of the most beautiful areas in the world.

Each track has it’s own back-story and Phil would be very happy to relate them to any musician or listener who would like to find out more. Phil can be reached directly on his YouTube Channel - Phil's Piano Pieces - YouTube by posting a message in the comments sections.

Donations for Ukraine

At the time of the release of this album the unprovoked war in Ukraine is raging and there are so many innocent people and children suffering due to the horrific atrocities inflicted upon them from the Kremlin in Russia – so for each sale made from this CD and/or music book - £1.50 will be donated to the Disaster Emergency Committee (DEC), to help and support the Ukrainian families in need during this appalling crisis.

This is from both the Composer, Phil, and Georgia who runs the excellent Pitch Perfect publishing site DOTS.
