TPP Builds Relationships

Case Study - Putting the growth into Independent Growth Finance

"After my first meeting with Paul and John from The Preston Partnership I knew that they were what I had been looking for. People who knew how to build management talent and who at the same time could really appreciate what I and my Finance Director were seeking to do to take the business forward.

"Looking back over the time that they have worked with us, individually and as a leadership team I can see how my initial reaction has proven to be correct and how my trust in them has been well founded. With their help we took a close look at ourselves personally and as an organisation and armed with those insights I can see that we have grown stronger as managers and more effective as a team.

"The culture at IGF has changed for the better and I believe that the work we have done with The Preston Partnership which included building a framework of management competencies, running a 360 degree review exercise, changing the way the leadership team functioned and running various pieces of management training (workshops and coaching sessions) have all played their part.

"Paul talks about 'the partnership approach' and I can testify that it has worked for us and that he and his team will continue to be our partners for management and organisation development.

We needed his help in advising us on shaping the culture in the business and to mentor the recently recruited sales team.

"We quickly came to see Paul as part of the senior management team and his work continues to give us lasting value.

"We will certainly consider The Preston Partnership should we need support in the future."

"As part of the FASTTRACK programme, key business cases were taken on as projects within the teams and the results have been very much part of Exclusive Hotels' strategic progression from both a customer and business perspective, such as Quest (our customer loyalty measure) and Exclusively Green (our environmental policy)."

"I have enlisted the services of The Preston Partnership on several occasions over the past few years, a period spanning my current and previous roles. Paul King was initially introduced to me by the FLA, when I headed the HR function at Fiat Auto Financial Services.  I remember we discussed at length the various training issues that I had identified and how out of those discussions two development programmes emerged specifically tailored for the different learning needs.

"Suffice to say I am again talking with Paul about a piece of work at my new company, Causeway, which reflects how pleased I was with his approach and with the results his training delivered for me."
