Training
Design
No two businesses or organisations are the same and as such no two training requirements and solutions are the same. We provide individual and tailor made programmes for each client, engaging with you at every stage of the process.
Training
Delivery
Providing you with high quality training and facilitation, Guy Pocock together with a small number of carefully selected and highly qualified associates will provide you with high-end training that is second to none.
Providing Commercial Value & Return on Investment
We appreciate the cost of training and also the cost of not training! At course design stage we will work with you to establish how you will measure the success of the training in terms of tangible and less tangible business and organisational outputs.
Conference and
Key Note Speaking
We are available to provide inputs to conferences where key messages need to be conveyed in an articulate and motivational way. Recently this service has been delivered in areas including ‘Managing Staff Performance’ at Head & Deputy head teachers’ conferences and launching new systems and processes such as behavioural frameworks and performance reviews.
Coaching and 1-2-1
development
Where more individual development is needed we can provided personalised or small team coaching. We have particular strengths in working with newly promoted managers, team leaders or supervisors who face some of the biggest challenges when dealing with difficult workplace issues.
Bespoke Training Films
& Packages
Working closely with our partners at Dream Time Film, we produce bespoke training films for business and organisations. The films are extremely successful in terms of learning and development as the learners see their own work systems, processes and environment being featured. This helps increases the relevance and requirement for the training and is highly effective in terms of increasing the commercial value and returns on investment.

Brewdog
“We were provided with training for our ‘middle-managers’ that was bespoke to the requirements of BrewDog and it was adapted to meet the needs of each individual. Guy listened to the challenges faced by the delegates and gave pragmatic training solutions to help. The feedback received from the team was exceptional and everyone was left wanting more. I would highly recommend courses by Guy.” Siobhan Cowie
Hawkshead Brewery
I am the General Manager here at The Beer Hall, Hawkshead Brewery. I joined Guy’s course a couple of years ago with my manager. At the time we both found the experience very beneficial. Not only does Guy have a wealth of information and helpful points but he made the course interesting, engaging, fun and memorable which is not always the case with other courses I have attended. I have continued to use the points I learned which have helped me make the step up to manager and to help me with challenges I face along the way.
Many thanks.

I just wanted to say thank you for all your support – it really has been absolutely invaluable for our project. It helps to just take a step back with someone who is independent but can give support and straight forward advice that really works. I would personally recommend your advice to anyone – regardless of their experience or background, whether it’s through a formal training course or 1:1 mentoring.
