Our customers say it best...

"Charlotte was incredibly knowledgeable about the subject areas we covered. I think that Charlotte having a background of working in nurseries, added further context to the training. Charlotte was also very patient as she was delivering the training to 6 managers who were all following along at the same time, we also had technical issues with our Wifi going down at times. Charlotte has also gone the extra mile to help us with some other issues with Connect".

“It’s so Important to have a Connect champion. I am that go-to person. This way, you don’t have the nurseries in the group implementing different ways of doing things. It’s all uniform, and so much easier, simpler, and more straightforward.”
