"My position in such a large organisation so committed to training gives me a close insight into the effectiveness of many training organisations and their programmes.   We were looking for the Crucial Finish That Academia Does Not Provide, to give individuals the personal development tools and techniques that would not only benefit the company short and long term, but would also enhance the immediate and future careers of our staff.

Our managers and people found Bancroft a breath of fresh air.   The ease and speed with which they acquired new vital skills was extremely impressive.   Managers reported a huge rise in self-confidence and a noticeable improvement in individual’s ability to add value and contribute more effectively to all areas of the business.

I would not hesitate to recommend Bancroft Development to all individuals of all ages."

"I was first exposed to Bancroft for specialist coaching and development when I joined the Group Training Department.   In a large organisation such as The Bank of Scotland we are exposed to lots of training and so: Why Bancroft? What is going to be the Difference?  The difference was immense, it was an experience not a training course presented out of a manual and it left an impression on everyone in the department, over 25 of us.

The style was unique and very memorable, so memorable it seems just like yesterday and after 8 years I am still using the Tool Kit I was given then.   As an individual what Bancroft gave me was an awareness of myself and how I was interacting with others.   I consider that I was very lucky to experience Bancroft early in my career and I would not hesitate to recommend Bancroft to any organisation."

"My career has been spent working for large multinationals; during my training I had the great benefit of meeting two of the world's most notable business gurus, Philip Crosby and Dr Edward Deming.   However I was hugely impressed by the difference the Bancroft approach provided for sustainable change within our business.

Bancroft Personal Development gave individuals something for themselves; we have some very powerful success stories that had previously taxed the most powerful brains we could employ from the outside world."

"I experienced Bancroft early in my career; I found that the difference with the Bancroft Approach gives individuals something for themselves.   I found it a revelation on a personal level; it made me understand a lot about myself that I had not appreciated before.

The influence that Bancroft had on my career was extraordinary and 20 years later I am still using them.   I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone for all people development."

"I first came across Bancroft four years ago on benchmarking visits organised by the DTI Inside U.K. Enterprise.   All the Raychem team completed Bancroft Personal Development for Individual and Team Development.

Bancroft very quickly gave us the wherewithal for an amazing change.   Very early on we saw our people become more confident in themselves, communicating with all levels and talking to the management of the organisation on equal terms.   Before Bancroft Development nobody would have predicted such a turn around in our business."

"In experiencing Bancroft Personal Development I had reason to believe I knew what was going to happen, having been sent on many and varied courses in the past.   However, the fact that I still remember much of the programme to this day and use it in my working life is a testament to its importance and appeal.

Long after I had forgotten the other courses, Bancroft Personal Development is still with me and I expect it to be so for the rest of my working life.   There is not enough space and time within this note to explain how profound an effect it had and still has on me.

I believe that Bancroft Personal Development is not just important for all young people, BUT ESSENTIAL."

"I was appointed as Divisional Director of a Manufacturing Facility that had made a loss of £2Million the previous year.   The company had decided that in order to turn this position around, it was necessary to implement World Class Manufacturing processes throughout the business.

The company had already appointed Bancroft to commence the implementation of the change and so I inherited Bancroft with little enthusiasm, because of my previous experience of employing consultancies that had not worked for me.   However, I was soon to have a complete change of mind, when I observed the very different way that Bancroft developed all individuals within the workforce and provided them with specialist Tools and Techniques that enabled us to achieve most impressive results.   We were not only presented with a Regional Award for Best Practice in World Class Manufacturing, but also we turned our previous loss of £2Million into a £7Million profit.   All achieved through the people.   Without Bancroft we would never have been able to achieve such an unbelievable change."

"Bancroft Development effectively saved our company £3Million.   We had a new product that was well designed, extensively tested with excellent results and had secured a major contract.   However, from the outset we could not manufacture the product as quickly or effectively as we needed to, in order to meet our delivery deadline.   Bancroft Personal Development very quickly had individuals and teams working together so well, that not only were we able to overcome our manufacturing problems, but we were in fact producing the product on time, to cost and to quality.   Without the assistance of Bancroft, their remarkable development programme and their specialist Tools &anp; Techniques, we would have been penalised by a £3Million penalty clause for not delivering on time.

In all my experience, I have never found another Consultancy that can do anything anywhere near the same."
