Meet the team
Everyone in Training for Advancement is important to our business and plays a major part in servicing and supporting our client accounts. We all work as a team and strive to provide nothing short of excellence for our clients. Here is a short synopsis of each person’s contribution:
Anne Nash – Managing Director
Anne spent many years in recruitment and selection, working in both the public and private sectors, before progressing into the role of National Training Manager for two highly respected recruitment businesses. After a move into retail financial services as a Learning and Development Project Manager, Anne joined Training for Advancement to work alongside blue-chips to improve business performance through the development of their people. This involved the provision of a consultancy service to senior HR and Operational teams to translate business objectives into innovative, integrated learning and development solutions.
Since taking on the challenging role of Managing Director for Training for Advancement, Anne has become responsible for driving business success, and is particularly attracted to the development of ’brilliantly simple’ solutions to complex client needs.
