Comments received from Owen Taylor and Sons Ltd:

“I was introduced to Philip Wadsworth of Intrinsic Training in 2013 by Learn Direct. Since then Philip has become our default training provider for the majority of our external training requirements. He has delivered and completed a number of Level 2 and level 3 NVQ and apprenticeship programmes in Meat and Poultry, Butchery, Food and drink Process Operator and Advanced Management.
Also delivering Food Safety at Level 2 and 3 Health and Safety at Level 2 and 3 as well as HACCP. These courses reflected our procedures and our working instructions this helped everyone attending to link the information to their job.

I have found Philip’s delivery professional and flexible around our production needs.

With each cohort Philip has kept me informed of progress and when individual performance has required help, we have worked together to find a solution to enable the individual to complete the qualification.

I intend to work with Philip and Intrinsic Training long into the future and happily recommend his services to other companies.

Comments received from Warburtons Bakery:

The very successful Apprenticeship programme delivered by Intrinsic Training.

“On behalf of Warburtons, I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for being a great learning and development partner. We look forward to further developing our working relationship through the years as we spread the good word of the Development Programme on many levels, across functions, sites and regions.
(I think they call that world domination!).

Head of HR Warburtons, Enfield.

“I felt the presentation was excellent.  It was delivered professionally and with passion and it was obvious
that a lot of work, time and thought had gone into the whole programme.
Your commitment and enthusiasm really stood out.  I did say after you left, that having this type of involvement and passion from a partner and senior staff is what will make the programme successful and differentiate it from the usual approaches.
If we had people managers like yourself championing these types of programmes across the business then I would be
absolutely confident that we could really move our management capability to where we want it to be.
Many thanks for sharing the presentation with us.”

Head of Talent Learning and Culture – Warburton.
