“Brian came to us for a training session on Staff Appraisals - he was very thorough, put some humour into what could essentially have been a pretty dry subject, and followed up promptly with documents he promised. We've implemented the system (not as frequently as we should!) and it did help us to focus on many issues relating to staff that we hadn't really considered, particularly in a recent batch of interviews for new staff.” January 6, 2010

Laura Murphy, Company Director, mtc2 ltd
was with another company when working with Brian at BlueAnchor Training

“As my introduction to the airline industry with British Caledonian, I was lucky enough to have a training programme, and a trainer who had passion and a love for what he was doing. The industry has changed so much today, and I am grateful to Brian for installing a passion for people, as opposed to the current trend of sticking your head in figures. Brian always had the ability to train, and ensure you went home at the end of the day, having learnt everything, but just not feeling as though you had actually been on a training course...a rare talent.”November 18, 2009
