Success stories
"I found that the EDP exceeded all expectations, from going to the launch event right through to the final presentation. It soon became clear that this wasn't just another training exercise but a real chance to shape and develop the business. Working through our project I got to visit different areas of the business and learn about job roles I did not previously know existed.”
