The feedback from delegates has been very positive saying how well presented and entertaining they found the sessions to be. Delegates also found it useful to be able to raise issues relevant to their work in local government and participate in valuable discussion about these issues. Well done.(Debbie Wiltshire, North Dorset Council, January 2005)
Paul, just a quick note to say that immediate verbal feedback from the client was excellent. She felt you engaged a noisy group exceptionally well and everyone felt that dry information was relayed in an interesting and informative style. They were so impressed they want to run another series next year. (Liz Taylor, Pitman Training, October 2005)
First of all a big thank you for your presentation yesterday in Manchester. I found it very interesting and informative. it's always good to hear someone who has a wealth of experience in the subject they are talking about - and not just reading from slides. An excellent afternoon laced with lots of good advice. (St Margaret's CE High School, Liverpool, March 2006)
Thank you very much for your training sessions yesterday, I understand the sessions went very well and the staff feel they have benefited greatly from the sessions. As my lot are an extremely cynical lot, to have made them happy is great praise indeed (Denise Donnelly, Pendle Borough Council October 2006 ) Very interesting - which surprised me as I expected it to be deadly dull, handouts were good & Paul Simpkins was very knowledgeable & had a really good style (London Borough of Lewisham, September 2007)
A very enjoyable course. Presented in a well structured manner allowing for interaction. One of the best courses I have attended for a long time. Paul Simpkins is an excellent trainer who is to be recommended. Very knowledgeable and engaging. Well done and Thanks. (Manchester City Council Housing, September 2007)
Very interesting in a geeky sort of way. (Scottish Youth Parliament, June 2008)
