Thank you so much for your inspirational facilitation over the awaydays - your compassion, expertise and delivery acumen helped the team to soar to new heights!

Debs Gleeson, HR Director, Co-operative Food Retail

Larry started working with our company five years ago, following a very positive recommendation from one of our suppliers. At the time our performance was declining and we were unclear about our future strategy. Larry helped us to create a vision and a series of measures to embed this vision into the people and into our culture. It is not an overstatement to say that the results were dramatic. Within a few months of Larry's work, we had an ambitious five year plan, productivity had increased by over 30%, managers were transformed in their level of responsibility and everybody was pulling together towards a common goal.

We have worked with Larry regularly since this exceptionally successful beginning and continue to find him invaluable in helping us to find ways of empowering the people within the company.  He is particularly good at working with people at all levels within the company, from senior managers to machine operators. He is also able to create an environment where the initial impulse is followed up with a sustained series of measures and an action plan.

Our ambitious five year goal was achieved one year ahead of schedule. We are now full steam ahead on our next five year goal, again supported by Larry. I am quite clear that the level of success we have reached would not have been achieved without Larry.

I have no hesitation in recommending Larry to other companies.

We have recently worked with Larry to put together a residential programme of workshops and support around facilitating and leading change. Throughout the event Larry was 100% engaged in making it a success. The energy he brought to the event was infectious and was core to the success of the programme. We were confident that he would be able to engage and energise delegates when we booked Larry, but he exceeded our expectations. He was flexible, responsive to the needs of us and our delegates, and pitched his input at exactly the right level. He worked in a variety of ways with our delegates - as a mentor, facilitator, trainer, critical friend - and in each role he was natural, supportive and modelled all the things he spoke about. It has been a pleasure to work with Larry twice over the past couple of years and we look forward to working with him again in the future.

Your facilitation skills training was the best course I have ever attended!

Larry's practical approach and experience was key to getting the business to see that Continuous Improvement could actually work for us in practice.

Andy Lindsay, Finance Director, Robert McBride Ltd

Larry's professionalism was a delight, able and willing to flex with our different requests. The learning event was quite electric, despite the challenges of the venue. The participants got an enormous lot of learning, fun and camaraderie. Your contribution at the steering group was very helpful and another example of your preparedness to help beyond the event.

This was an immensely useful and practical programme. Larry's expertise and positive presentation style left a lasting impression on participants.

Ian Cawthra, Training Manager, Stevenage Borough Council

Larry has guided us through a number of business challenges, from complex project management through to departmental vision and purpose. He provides us with focus, challenge and best of all fun.

The Co-operative Resourcing & Development team

Olicana Products, an SME specialising in the manufacture of tubular metal products, first asked Larry to help the Management Team develop a shared vision for the business some 18 months ago. The Management had never had any formal training and Olicana Products had never invited a consultant to help them drive their business forward. Prior to the first session there was much apprehension! The result however was startling, previously hidden ambition was exposed and all members of the Management Team focused their energies towards the Company's ambitious new goals. The Company has since exceeded the targets set by the Management Team (50% sales increase whilst bettering productivity targets in 18 months) and still they want more! There is no question that Larry Reynolds has provided this Company with the best return on any investment ever. We look forward to working with Larry regularly over the next few years.

Larry's session on Building Successful Teams was pitched beautifully to the needs of the participants.  The session was informative, fun, challenging, energizing and delivered in a natural and engaging way.  Thank you so much!

Fiona Cameron, Manager Courses and Events, The Clore Leadership Programme

A really excellent two day course. Really lovely atmosphere, great rapport, informal, authentic training from someone who is skilled and passionate about it. I came away re-energised and with handfuls of new ideas, tips and techniques to try out. Thank you Larry
