Feedback

I wanted to thank you for today’s session – everyone enjoyed it and it has certainly generated a lot of discussion in the office.

Very interesting indeed, I learnt a lot from this. It made me realise how much food and health nonsense there is and how much of it I have been susceptible to..!

I'll use this for work and personal interest, definitely with participants in the well-being course that I run. 

[The trainer] was knowledgeable and passionate about his subject - could have spent another hour discussing the subject quite easily.

The session was really good - my favourite and the most thought-provoking! 

Clients

We have worked with many organisations, including:

Toshiba, RBS, Repsol, Nucleus, ICAS, Edinburgh Colleges, The University of Edinburgh, NHS Lothian, SanDisk, Scottish Legal Complaints, Scottish Qualifications Authority and many others.
