Warwick Abbott
Warwick is a director of Primeast, where he develops and leads both UK and worldwide programmes. One of his major projects was awarded a UK National Training Award. Warwick is a facilitator with international experience of helping people to grow through relationship building and the management of change. The diversity of his work has ranged from enhancing performance in cross-cultural business teams, through to helping disadvantaged individuals with personal growth.
His previous management experience is based on an extensive period working in the not for profit sector including the Canadian International Development Agency. His challenge there was to deliver results in a variety of complex arenas, balancing the needs of commercial and political stakeholders and managing disparate groups of individuals. The environments themselves were as diverse as inner city London and Cardiff, and the remote jungles of Guyana, Costa Rica, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, and Cameroon. From working in these distant and remote team environments Warwick has developed a keen interest in Primeast’s ongoing development of online and blended learning solutions.
