Peter Sullivan, Operations Director, BSS
I have been delighted and surprised by the outcomes from the project teams. We are seriously considering all the outputs and will definitely be implementing many of the recommendations across the business. This is certainly a programme which we will run again next year and would recommend it to other organisations
Ruth Redfern, assistant chief executive, Yorkshire Forward
This Primeast facilitated [talent liberation] workshop has quite simply helped a number of our people identify what they want to do with the rest of their lives. It sounds like a platitude to say that what our people are faced with is an opportunity to really do something different – something that they wouldn’t have been able to do had fate not intervened at this time in their lives.
Thea Stein, Chief Executive, Yorkshire Forward
Who knows what they want to be when they grow up? Very few of us. This workshop has allowed those who had very little idea of what they wanted to do next, to understand the choices ahead and take significant steps towards shaping their future. It also gave time for people to reflect on their true worth in the market place and to shape plans taking them forward positively into a plan of action.
Sue Gradwell, Chief Exec & Laura Mason, HR, NYBEP Ltd
The Strategic Vision Workshops Primeast delivered to senior managers in Autumn 2010 have been widely recognised as the reason why our Management Team meetings are now so fruitful! Thanks again to Sarah Sharp for all her help and support
Stuart M. McFarlane, Sector Manager, Yorkshire Forward
“I thought the [talent liberation] workshop was fantastic and extremely helpful in making me focus on my key skills and talents, which allowed me to identify what to do next“
Steve Connolly, UK Onshore Regional Director, Cape plc
Through the CAPEability workshops and subsequent actions, our senior managers have already added significant value and they have also begun the process of empowering their teams, thus giving themselves headroom for further Cape growth that is planned. At a personal level, I now have significantly more personal time for strategic thinking and key commercial relationships.
Alex Spence, HR Director, Cape plc
Our Cape People values of capability, opportunity and commitment are being embedded in 2011 with the opportunity for all staff to work out how to bring them alive in the work they do for the business. CAPEability equips our senior team to make the most of this opportunity as it plays out in the services they lead for our customers.

Francesca Walker, Senior Lecturer, University of Central Lancashire
I want to thank you Clive for a wonderful event last evening. We have been receiving feedback already from the attendees who all felt that the message that you convey is important (always), but more so in these times of uncertainty. Being able to recognise and enhance the talents of the workforce is essential. It was also a great pleasure not to be talked to via Powerpoint – it was truly refreshing.
Graham Jefferies, head of MeterPlus
Benita Treanor successfully led our Coaching Development programme for senior managers as part of a wider transformational initiative at Npower.
Graham Jefferies, head of MeterPlus
The consultants from Primeast are business partners who truly share the challenge of change management. Where others may jump in, they first of all listen and seek to really understand the need. This facilitative approach applies whether they’re talking with our senior managers or with our front-line staff. They work at a pace that fits the wider journey required of our business and take account of other initiatives we need to pursue as part of an international corporation.
