Happy New Year….there…I said it!
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and enjoyed the New Year celebrations….I fell asleep on the sofa – ahh the joys of having a two year old!

I’ve been to see a couple of new prospects and as a result we have some new clients on board which is great. I’ve also been collecting some feedback from clients for the new 
June has been a busy month, my best month in business yetwhich has felt incredibly rewarding. I’ve been working on the training portfolio of courses as well as delivering them for the first time. June has also been busy with new customerscoming on board as well as developing some exciting new concepts for existing clients.
So here it is, after hours and hours of looking after everyone else’s websites I finally got round to doing my own!! But as they say, better late than never.
