"Business goes where it is needed and stays where it is welcome." - Anon
This is a special part of my site, somewhat self indulgent, and something I am very appreciative of; however when people generously take the time to create a testimonial, I want to share them so that you can see for yourself what people have said about me and how useful they have found my training. Indulge this humble training consultant sharing some of these with you.

Arguably, one of the best trainers I have had the pleasure of meeting. Confident, open and with the ability to put everybody at ease whilst delivering the training in a precise and professional manner which will get you thinking and looking at your own styles of management. I very much look forward to future encounters and strongly recommended Simon to any and all businesses – you and your teams will benefit!Jody Austin Bennett
Simon is a fantastic trainer. His enthusiasm, subject knowledge and passion for training has inspired our delegates and create a supportive yet challenging environment for our course. Feedback from delegates has been sensational. They especially welcomed the personal mentoring that he provides individually to delegates between events and this really sets him apart from other trainers, across all four of the soft skills courses we ran this year. We will be working with Simon again in future.David Wright Director General at United Kingdom Lubricants Association (UKLA) Ltd
Sales Training Testimonials for SerialTrainer7
I had the privilege to attend an intense 3-day sales training with Simon which was just outstanding. The sessions he runs are very interactive, full of practice, role plays and case studies which help replicate the theory into the daily routine and truly applying the learnings. We covered all aspects of the sales process, buyers type, buyers and negotiation tactics and even presentation skills. Furthermore, his service is not limited to the actual training but also extended by offering advice and meetings upon request even afterwards, this is brilliant. Last but not least, everyone left with a smile because Simon's amazing sense of humour. The best training I have ever had!Filippo Fabiano Account Manager at Webgains
I’ve had the opportunity to work with Simon, I’ve found him very motivating, everything what he says is relevant, very effective, he listened to me and gave me lots of ideas that have proved to work, as a difference from other trainers he definitely got me thinking and making positive changes in my relations with my clients. As a sales person I’ve found his training extremely helpful.Thank you Simon and I hope to continue working with you in the future.Eli Araujo-Goral Account Manager. Yachting Pages Media Group
Its only taken me 21 years to write this. Simon was the Training Manager at Future Publishing when I joined, my first step in my career ladder (cars sales at a Ford dealership doesn't count), and subsequently managed me for several months. To this day Simons training is the foundation of my sales, and client relationships. It is what I communicate, train and expect from my team, and to this day is the cornerstone to being successful in building relationships, trust, productive, fruitful and long term results with clients. This has been applicable in every industry I have worked in, and specifically important in the incredibly competitive media & events industry, where you really have to stand out and offer value. If you are looking to improve your sales teams effectiveness, and long term secured revenues, then I cannot recommend Simon enough.Graeme Kirk Senior manager and sales professional
Simon’s training style is just stunning, the sessions are engaging and interactive. We had an intense week of training around the sales process, buyer signals and motives, negotiation tactics and much more. The modules are filled with in-depth information yet easy to understand and apply into action. I would highly recommend Simon and look forward to working with him again!Alona Malinovska Group Head of Client Services. Webgains
Personal Development & Coaching Testimonials for SerialTrainer7
Simon is a fantastic trainer. He sees everyone in his sessions as individuals, understanding them quickly and offers advice and tailors his teaching style depending on the people. I and my team have really benefited from his training as he provides you skills and strategies that help improve yourself in a personal and professional way. I would absolutely recommend Simon and his training to anyone.Maxine Poole Head of Marketing and Communications. NHS Professionals
Simon is an inspiring and talented training specialist. Each course of his I've attended has been impeccably organised and presented, his knowledge has been exhaustive and his enthusiasm infectious. I would have no hesitation in recommending him professionally, and I've been grateful on several occasions for his personal advice and career guidance.Charlie Lister Future Trainee Solicitor. Womble Bond Dickinson LLP
My sessions with Simon have been fantastic. I love how the training is not at all robotic or full of uncomfortable role play sessions. Everything we went through was relevant to current times and felt very up to date. Simon is extremely approachable and always reminding you that he is happy to help at anytime, so the training doesn't stop at the end of the session. Thanks Simon, looking forward to our session early next year!John Billinghurst Brand Sales Executive, Immediate Media Co
Simon was invaluable to myself, when I began to co-host a series of in-house training seminars. He really took the time to make me feel as if I could communicate quite complicated ideas effectively in a short space of time, even though I’d never hosted a large scale formal training session before.Joss Hutton Digital & Print Project Manager
Management Development Testimonials for SerialTrainer7
Cannot recommend Simon enough. After just completing an intensive course remotely on Management and Leadership, I have come away with more in-depth knowledge on areas I had touched on in my CIMA studies as well as areas I was not familiar with. Although some areas were out of my comfort zone, there was no judgement and the feeling of being part of close group was something not encountered on a training course before. I love the way Simon is so honest and open with us. It allows you to be comfortable sharing your thoughts and opinions to help work through issues and develop further.Sharon Addenbrooke Finance Manager, Network N
Highly Recommended!! Having just completed the Serial7 Management Academy, I wanted to say Simon is almost certainly the best trainer I have encountered. He was insightful, engaging and knowledgeable, but importantly, also very adaptable, tailoring his training to the needs of the pupils in front of him. He brought an energy to the training that made, with what could have been very dull subject matter, the time simply fly by. Never afraid of probing questions on the topic at hand and always willing to hear other’s points of view. It was very telling at the end of the sessions, that there was not one bad word for Simon! Altogether, Simon and Serial7 should be on any organisations contact list for training needs. Hope to have the pleasure of Simon’s coaching/mentoring/training again in the not too distant future.Robin Snow Assistant Manager at John Wainwright & Co Ltd
Couldn’t have been presented better. Simon is extremely inspiring. Best training I have EVER had.Tom Holden Asst Store Manager. Hargroves Cycles
Simon's training has been fundamental in helping me to step up my skills as an employee, a colleague, and a manager. His straightforward, no-nonsense approach will have you quickly seeing every day work situations in a new light, as well as your role in your business and team. I've learned how to amplify not only my own strengths, but those of my teammates, too. Expect sage advice, expect to be faced with challenges, and expect to (safely) step outside your comfort zone, with great reward. I'd recommend Simon and SerialTrainer7 in a heartbeat.Emma Park Campaign Executive / Freelance Artist / WIGJ Ambassador
