Our Trainers

At Propeller we take great pride in the quality and substance of our trainers. Each of them has extensive business experience in a relevant field in addition to their years of training; and brings to the training room an understanding, flexible and pragmatic approach that only true practitioners have.

In order to ensure that our training content is kept up to date and that our trainers remain fresh and energised we limit each trainer’s delivery to a maximum of three days per week. As far as we know we are the only training company in the UK to do this and our clients truly appreciate this quality over quantity approach to our training delivery.
